A bit of DIY bending and clevis pins - couple more pics in my archive under 'Handbrake'.
Cables secured using a blob of weld - didn't work too well - parted as I arrived for my IVA test...DOH!
Mark II securing was using the inner brass bit from standard electrical 'choc-block' connector.

For attaching cable I have found this u-bolts to be very good for the job.
e-bay for:
Wire rope grip U-bolt clamp
Cheap and work well (you can get them in loads of places, such as local hardware).
