Okies Steve....not terribly unlike my RMC.
Firstly, the handbrake lever is from a Holden gemini. (wash my mouth with soap)
The cable is from a Jag.
There are a couple of ways that the fellas do this, but in all cases the cable goes straight thru the back sheet metal in your case...f/glass in my case. The outer cable is fitted to the rear bulkhead or to the side of the tunnel.
The cable then goes back and up above the half shafts and loops back down to the caliper.
The variations I've seen have to do with which end of the inner cable goes to where. The inner cable has an adjuster stud one end and a clevis the other.
Some folks fit it like you have. ie. the adjuster stud at the hand brake end but in all cases I've seen this the stud goes thru a 90 degree bracket fitted to the hand brake lever. This bracket pivots in the hand brake lever and has a hole thru which the stud goes. I've scanned a drawing if I can get it on here.
Either the above or you reverse the cable and have the adjuster at the caliper end in which case the hand brake lever bracket is just a flat steel with two holes. One for the clevis and one for the lever pivot.
Did I explain that well enough?
