The van's Left cable goes straight under the frame (like the original Left cable did) through the frame tab, to the van's Right cable sheath (which is how they equalize).  The Right cable connects directly to the Bronco pedal cable (the Bronco extension cable was deleted).  But the Left sheath is not clipped to the frame tab - it's in the plate at the back of this short rectangular tube, which has another tab welded on for a bolt to hold it on the frame tab.  It's all in compression, and all the force goes to the original tab that was designed to take it, so I expect it to work forever (assuming I got the length right).

UPDATE: Turns out, I didn't.  The Left sheath had to go another inch back to the body perch for the e-brake to work, so I'll probably remove the original cable bracket from the frame.
