Default Split window: Disc conversion

I am presently changing my 63 to disc brakes front and rear. It is easy for the brakes itself but not that easy for the handbrake. I switched to the parts of the 67 model for the rear but I am a little struggeling for the front mechanism. I will stay with the lever under the dash, but I have not yet found a good solution for the routing of the cable to the balance.
Who has done this already? And are tehre any pictures of solutions?
Thanks for your answers/ideas

PS: I have a new?? solution for the handbrake spring installation: I take cable ties to press them together and after the installation I use a heatgun to melt them.
