1950 3100 parking brake replacement

I am stumped. T8 byhe cable is the right length but the cable housing stop bracket on the frame doesn't allow the cable clevis to reach the arm on the cross bar. Please see photos. They should better show the problem. I don't believe the bracket can be opened up to allow the housing to slide through. I think it would break.
