Parking Brake Connection

Hoping someone can point me in the right direction.  I restored the parking brake pedal assembly and seem to be missing a few pieces.  I highlighted the two missing in the picture below.  Does anyone have a picture of them up close or know where I could get one? I think I am S.O.L and will need to fabricate something.

1. Where the cable connects to the pedal assembly. Is this some kind of split bushing?
2. What holds the outer cable jacket in place?

Any help is much appreciated as always.

I have good pics, got to dig em up, will repost when I get them.
What year is that?

Found them. My '68 has a simple clamp for the cable housing, two tabs stick through holes in the pedal bracket around a stud (or bolt, it's not clear)
I don't have a good pic of the cable end pin, seems it had a push-on retainer. Anyway here's what I got, I bet Bull has some high-resolution closeups with new paint. :)
Ignore the circle in the bottom pic.

Thanks Elecruze.  The picture helps alot.  Now I know what to look for in case I have the clamp piece.  I think I am going to end up needing one or making one since I dont recall seeing one in my spare clips and parts.

I'm in the same boat at the moment with restoring my parking brake mechanism. There was a push on nut (washer) that held the connector on the pin.

Is there supposed to be some sort of bushing between where the release handle passes through the bracket, circled in red?

There is a bushing that is supposed to be there.  If you aren't doing a factory correct restore, Bull and 69rtse4spd both have good suggestions.  There are also some links to the original bushing. Check out the link below.
