Handbrake cable securement...Series II

Hi Folks, just purchased a Series II handbrake cable from Sunbeam Specialties, my car's cable was missing along with various connective bits. [Have the handbrake itself]. A working handbrake is the first priority for getting my car out on the road. [have already had one brake system leak issue, don't want a repeat without a mechanical brake functioning.]

I have figured out the clamp under the rocker panel for the front end of the cable housing and know what I need to acquire to attache the cable to the brake system [missing the clevis at the attachment point] but cannot figure out where the mid cable brass fitting attaches to the undercarriage. The cable has a brass fitting with a small protruding knob. See part 212 in the attached photo. I have no idea where or how this fixture should be secured.

If anyone can provide me with info, or even better a willing to crawl under your car and send me photo it would be greatfuly appreciated.

Grease Fitting

A member was kind enough to educate me on the concept of grease fitting in the Handbrake Cable. My ignorance is extreme. Thanks.
