The little tab on the bottom of the handbrake looks like it's bent back, it's there to stop the cable bracket falling of the bottom.
It could be wrong as it's hard to see from the picture angle.
If you have a look at the picture of the handbrake in the link you will see the tab pointing forward.

Mine broke off when I tried to bend it back up and now have some cable ties holding the bracket up, once the plastic covers on you can't see them.

Yes bent it back as i made the bracket at an extra 10mm only so had to fit the bracket to cables then pry it onto the handbrake.
All bent into correct position again.
Recommend 15mm extension.
Works great and I can now use standard cables
Need to re-bleed the brakes still very spongy pedal but now I have a hand brake I know the callipers are set correctly.

Did you get everything sorted in the end and are thrashing it round the country side?

So just removed the inline pressure regulators. B1TCH of a little job. But mad some short section up and now need to bleed them. Tomorrow job. Got a small leak on the return fuel line which I need to cut and reform the end.
Then indeed may get to drive the god forsaken thing again.
Glad you have enjoyed my frustrations it’s all worth it once the jobs are done it’s just finding the time and weather to allow it.
