Pickup brake cables

Should there be guides or grommets where the brake cables pass through the bulkhead? Pictures?
Should the carpet cover the cables? It’s been seven years since my blue ‘59 was towed away and I’ve forgotten the details. I don’t recall the exposed cables or large holes at the pass thru. I wonder if that was the entry point for the mice I found in the headliner and bulkhead trim.
I thought I had done a fair job with the new vinyl headliner but it appears that the glue is letting go already.☹️

You need 2 of these Bill. Fitted where the cables enter the cab from the rear, no carpets over cables.

Thanks Les,
Doesn’t look like it would be hard to make. Not much chance of finding them over here.

Bill, the underside has a circular raised boss that locates in the panel the cables pass through. Originally aluminium.
