Any pics would be appreciated.
Welded in the frame connectors. The parking brake cable previously ran under the body where the connectors now are. Did you guys drill holes in the connectors or run the cable below the connectors.
 
Go through, not around.

I drilled the hole a little higher in the torsion bar crossmember for the cable, then welded in piece of pipe cut in half length-wise in the connector for clearance.
 
Used 1.5x3x0.120 wall and went over the tube. Still had to relocate the spot it passed through the factory frame as shown in Jimacuda's picture.
 
Have also seen hole drilled through subfamily connector and using short piece of rubber fuel line that fits tightly, say a 5/16 hose in a 3/6 hole, so that no water etc gets into sub frame and cable won't rattle or wear in a metal tube.
