Default Dimensions of handbrake cable brackets

Useful dimensions would be: stock size, spacing between holes and hole sizes.
Hi Grant et al,

Thought I would jump in here to get the ball rolling. I had two springs laying around so it was easy to get to the broken remnants to get the dimensions as a starter. See attached photo.

All we need is the length from the spring clip hole to the cable clamp hole. The rest can be pretty well deduced. I would think the clamp hole would be 9/32" diameter to accommodate a 1/4" bolt which it looks like in the photos.

Interestingly the brackets were mounted on different spring clips and not directly across from each other.

Hope this is of some help.

Cheers
