Boonie Rear Brake Cable Installation to Hub Actuator Lever??

#1
Hello, reposting this here, mistakenly originally posted under Vintage USA originally
My brake ready to install, and looked all ove the web for a diagram or close up showing how the original cable was attached to the brake hub lever and how it is supposed to adjust, but I gave up finally and decided to ask the members here on the OldMiniBikes forum. In an old Popular Science pic I noticed the cable clips along the RH lower frame rail the inner cable passes thru a small hole in the axle bracket in front of the lever.
Anyone have a close up pic or know where i can see an exploded view or parts list? I'm wondering if it gets a clevis or what?? I'd like to try to make it like original, if possible. Thanks

The cable is secured with a little carriage bolt that has a hole drilled through it right under the head, pass the threads through the hole in the brake arm and draw it up tight with a nut. BIG TIP...silver solder the last few inches of the brake cable before assembly to avoid fraying and distortion of the cable when you tighten the clamp!!!
