Stuart Taylor chassis, handbrake cables vs harness mount???????

Can anybody who has build a Stuart Taylor IRS car explain how they got the handbrake cables (where they go through the rear bulkhead through the split tubes at the bottom of the tunnel on the passenger side) to clear the harness?????????????????????

Merrily started mounting the handbrake on the passenger side of the tunnel, halfway through realised that the eyebolt for the harness completely blocks the path of the handbrake cable to the tubes for the cable!!!!

Just starting to get to that point with this car where I think I should have done the chassis myself, would have meant designing it, not redesigning it all again!!

no, I'll take some tomorrow, but I think in answer to my own question, all you'll be able to say from a pic is "that won't work"!

I know it won't, but I'm not the only one on here that's built one, so how did the others do it?

Is Brooky's handbrake on top of the tunnel or on the passenger side?

Mine appears to have facility on the chassis to put the cables on the passenger side (though no brackets to bolt the lever to) and facility to put the lever on top of the tunnel, but nowhere to put the cables, plus I don't want the lever there anyway!
