Looking for undercar photo of GTV

Can someone point me to a photo that shows the routing of the handbrake cable for a 1967 GTV? There's something wrong with the BB search feature; it keeps telling me my search phrase needs to be at least 3 words long, despite my putting in many more than that several times.

I'm about to replace the original cable on my car, after it came loose and dropped low enough to get snagged on something when rounding a quick corner. I want to make sure all the hangers are still in place after my little "incident."

That would be a 3 letters per word minimum, not 3 words minimum per search, honest.

If you're punching in stuff like 'P' (for parking) 'of', 'in', '20' and such, it'll reject it right back at you.

put the whole thing in "quotes" and it'll accept it no matter if there's a word smaller than 3 letters in there....it'll only detect the exact phrase though. Sorry I don't have a picture, nor a 67 GTV

Hey, I tried a full paragraph and all sorts of shorter combinations. It was the search engine, not me, honest. I use search all the time. Normally it works fine. Some phrases that failed the "3" test: GTV handbrake cable; undercar photos of GTV; GTV restoration photos; series 105 restoration photos showing under the car; how to route new handbrake cable; how to circumvent the globe in an Amilcar in 5 days or less (Just kidding; it would take at least 10).

the only "hangers" on my '67 are the attachment points at both ends and a small tab on the trailing arm.
