MG Midget and Sprite Technical - Frogeye Handbrake cable fixing point?

Just putting a incomplete frogeye back together and I am struggling to find out whats missing. Don't have another car around to look at.
The handbrake linkage on axle is missing but I have sourced that but what I need to know is what is the outer handbrake cable fixed to at the axle end, Parts list don't show it, Any body got a photo or drawing?

Thanks Roy

There's a bracket welded to the axle casing, to which should be bolted another bracket. The cable attaches to the forward end and the compensator fits onto the rearward end.

Here's an image of the 'support' bracket from the Moss website.

The cable is affixed through a hole on the face that you can't see (indicated by the arrow). The inner than passes through the large hole and attaches to the compensator.
