Help with that diabolical Sud parking brake!!

I just dropped the 16V motor in my 'Sud berlina and am now struggling with that damn parking brake system for the inboard front brakes. I thought we had the cable installed correctly, but the parking brake handle now only pulls back half as far as before and one of the calipers is not pushing the pads into the disc at all (the calipers, discs, pads and brake cable are all brand new).

I've looked all over for drawings, schematics, instructions for this but can't find anything. Even in that useless Haynes manual (this parking brake thing is easily the worst job on the entire Alfasud, so I have no idea why I can't find any tutorials on how to service it correctly).

Does anyone have any pics or drawings or instructions on the correct way to install the parking brake cable? I'm really getting tired of pulling the engine over and over again just to sort out this ridiculous design. Help!!!!!
