Parking brake cable routing

On my '69 I was looking in the old mechanics manual for routing of the parking brake cable but it's hazy and vague, and I was dumb enough to pull the old cable off last year when I took the rear end apart to put the new Wilwood kit on without snapping a reference photo...but exactly how is it routed? I see a clamp point that's basically behind the back seat under the car, is that correct? I also can't remember where the union happened for the cabling to merge to the one cable.

Forgot to mention, replacing the stock drums for Wilwood's kit.

Thanks a ton! Was about to spot weld a bracket to the axle housing on the driver side, the tab on the body panel was missing but the bolt was there, just drilled a fabricated hook and screwed it in. The line coming out of the passenger side doesn't come straight out, Wilwood routes it out forward so the line has to make an S shape. Yours flexes usually, right?

Both sides go forward first and passenger side then S's back to the retainer clip on the axle housing.. I'll look for another picture.

Appreciate it, got it all installed. On to the next problem, rear wheels have some pretty excessive runout after putting the Wilwood kit on. Always something, wouldn't be fun otherwise!
