Default Parking brake cable routing

My 89 drop top has the rear driver's side parking brake cable hanging down below the cross member. It appears to me it should be routed above the cross member in between the spacer blocks that separate the the cross member from its mounting points. Am I correct in that assumption or am I missing something like a hanger or two?

You can use this image to inventory your e-brake hardware:

There is I believe a hanger at the C-beam that is often lost or becomes missing. #28 might be the one at the C-beam, I haven't looked or been under there for quite some time. Maybe someone will post up a snapshot.

I'm having the same issue and wondered about routing. I tried clicking on the image, but it's gone. Probably because it's 10 years old 😂

Sent you a PM - reply to my email addy and I can likely fix the link. That dealer no longer has on-line info.
