GTD handbrake help please

Lining up the cossie calipers on my standard GTD rear uprights, I realised the handbrake cable fouls the upright. I obviously need to cut a relief in the uprights. Is there anybody out there in GTD land who can take a picture of their rear uprights so I can see how it's been done please?
My uprights were originally drum braked and I have adapted them in the same way the GTD factory did to accept calipers.
Thanks
Simon
 
I've cut a slot in the (overengineered) uprights to accomodate the bend in the handbrake cable (pic 1)
however, there's much less of a bend if the handbrakecable is routed through the hole and comes out between the lower wishbone mounting and the shock absorber mounting. Is this the way GTD did it? if not can anyone see any problems?
