CP,
A sV only uses one cable. The pics in the quoted thread has the OP comparing his old against his new E-brake cable.
The rod connects to left E-brake lever while the E-brake cable goes through the rod's "stirrup" capturing the cable housing (free end of rod is located in a grommet in the small bracket on the rear of the axle housing), then the cable end connects to the E-brake lever on the right side. Operation is by the reaction of the cable to cable housing pulling against each other.
Hope this helps,
My series V has the self-adjusting brakes. It has:
1. The handbrake lever and associated mounting hardware.
2. The handbrake cable, which you ordered from SS. The cable attaches to the adjustment mechanism at the right wheel.
3. The solid rod you posted a picture of connects to the left rear brake.
4. There are small springs attached to the activation lever on each wheel.
Solid rod attachment:
Right rear wheel:
Cable to rod attachment (behind the differential housing):
You can see I am missing the grommet for the free end of the solid rod.
