Guy,
Can't help you with the photo but If it aint broke don't fix it. If you live where the earth/ground is relatively flat forget about it...you don't really need it anyway. On C4s the parking brake sometimes causes the pads to drag on the rear discs causing the rotors to warp or heat up...I've heard of people removing/disconnecting the cables to prevent this from happening.....me I ground down the excentric half moon lobes that strike the pads about a 1/4 inch to give it more clearance on my '89....my p brake still works great without dragging effect.
Good Luck!
