I too use oillite bronze bushing and washer in my design.
The GT car Miles Collier used to own also used only cables to actuate the e-brakes. The e-brake lever in that car was centrally located as well. The cables seemed to dangle quite low and run very close to the hot exhaust. I saw the Collier car at Mid Ohio in the 80's and looked very carefully at the unique things that were on that car. That's when I really started learning about the unique features of certain 914s. What were you saying about backing plates? (The pic is from the 80's) Got any pictures? Attached image(s)

If you don't like the bell crank approach, you might be interested in the way I did it. I cut down two 911 parking brake cables, made special end fittings for them, and attached the outer ends to the stock 914 cables externally with the same clevis and pin that used to grab the caliper lever. You wind up with stock 914 cables, and stock 911 parking brakes (both bow-ties functional). The only special parts are the cut-down 911 cables, the end fittings for them, and the extra weld bracket to hold the outer end of the cut-down cables - five parts total per side, counting the cables. I've had it working on my car for a year and a half now, and it seems to work really well.

That looks like a nice clean cable install. Good work!
