I found and purchased the pull handle and cable but can not find any information on how it attaches to the Pull Arm on the trans. There must be some kind of hardware that attaches to that arm that connects to the cable. A picture would help a lot if anyone has this setup. And information or direction would be greatly appreciated.

That bracket holds the outer portion of the cable in place. As indicated there is a special bolt with a shoulder type washer that is installed on the OD engagement lever. This tightens the inner cable but allows it to pivot on the lever when it is pulled/pushed.
You can fabricate these components and drill a hole in the bolt just below the head.
If you have an assembly manual, refer to RPO 315 sheet 2.00
