    I can't remember if I used a 3/8 or 1/2 shim, but it was a fine line between clearing the drive shaft (3 link) and not having the parking brake cables rubbing on it. I ended up "rounding" the edge of the safety loop so that the cables, although just barely touching, will not chafe.
    I went to mount mine and found the brake cables right in the way. I stopped and will later look at your solution.

    If needed, Metco has some nice spacers they will shipped to you free. My setup needed a tad bit of shimming for clearance.
