Parking Brake Rebuild

I'm a little embarrassed to ask this question, but since I obviously did not notice how the device was assembled BEFORE I began to rebuild it and have not found any help in searching:

Does anyone have a picture of how the parking brake connection (left and right rear cables) is assembled. Or even a hint would be nice.

I have this metal bracket with holes and one cable with blunt metal end from left rear and another cable with screw type end from right rear.

Am I missing some item?

Thanks!!!

The hole in the bracket is notched - as in not round, and that goes onto the screw type end on the caliper, and the nut holds it on the caliper. The notch allows the bracket to be pulled by the cable and twist the screw end to apply the brakes without spinning on the screw end.

The blunt metal end of the cable goes into the bracket U shaped part. You may have to use pliers to hold onto it as you pull it in. The blunt end keeps the cable in the bracket; much like the blunt end holds a bicycle brake cable on the caliper.

The screw end of the passenger cable (it should have a bracket it goes through) is for adjustment once it's all assembled to keep the cable tight enough; it's how you adjust the parking brake.

It's kind of hard to describe but play with it and you'll see. Maybe someone here has a picture.
