Default Brake cable/bracket relocation

I've heard guys on the Forum said they have relocated the rear brake cables and brackets to accommodate larger tires and wheels. Does anyone have any pics on how they exactly have done this? looking at the cables it seems there's more involved than just a bracket relocated on the trailing arm.....

I don't have photos because I left mine off until I decide to rebuild the emergency brake.

It is actually pretty easy to relocate the brackets, just move them to about the same position on the inside of the trailing arm...
