Route of handbrake cables

[Leyland]

Hi all
Can anyone help please. I am at the stage of fitting new handbrake cables.
There are two fixing points. The wheel cylinder end is fine, but has anyone got
A picture/photo of where the other fixing is, either from inside the car or underneath
. When the floor pans were replaced
I lost the fixing hole. This was so long ago I have forgotten where they should be.
I would like to drill the holes in the correct place first time.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Ty

Right at the back of the tunnel - down at floor level. It's not exactly critical.......

The subject is covered in the last magazine with pictures that should give you a good idea where the holes are.

The cable ends pretty much fall into place - nowhere else they can go!

5.5 inches measured from the very top of the tunnel following the curve, or 11 inches of string would reach from one to the other. About 3/4 inch forwards of the vertical face of the heelboard. On mine the cables, even new, will use 1/2 of the threaded section on the adjuster with new brake components so the further rearwards the little threaded bracket go, the better it would've been. This is a 1949 MM but should be the same floor design. I have the carpets glued down with underlay so a photo would not be very good at showing the positioning.
I'd suggest you try drilling a home there and see how it all works out.

Found a useable pic. Blue arrow shows the hole. The heelboard panel on mine folds forwards and is welded along the edge as part of the strengthening mod so yours ay have a different construction here.
