Default Parking brake help

I just got done installing my trick chassis rear end and it doesn’t have hold downs for the metal brake lines or for the parking break cable and I’m having trouble setting the parking break and getting it to work. I would imagine that the parking brake cable being freestanding and not held down could definitely be contributing to my issues. Does anybody have a good means to hold the parking brake in place behind the rotor?

The problem exists in your pics #s' 3 and 4. Need a non-flexing mount for that end.

Do you know of an aftermarket option to achieve this?

The OEM brackets for 98-02 f-bods is left GM 10289539 right GM 10289540. You might check GM 25693149 and GM 22824191.

Since you replaced the OEM rearend with an aftermarket rearend, most just take the OEM brackets and cut them and bolt the part to the rearend with the lower control arm bolt.

The OEM brackets don't work with LCA relocation brackets so I cut them and used them.
