Exclamation Parking brake, rear pads, and hardware

This is one of those YGTBFKM stories. The parking brake does not work on my car. 2005 Roadster Limited Edition

The previous owner bought fancy wheels and used the existing lug bolts. As it turns out the new wheels are thinner and the existing bolts went into the rear shoes and destroyed the parking brake. So he removed everything. I kid you not!

Where is the stuff?

Here is what's left of the brake cable:

Brake cable attachment, no hardware

I found a hardware kit at RockAuto, however I don't know if the hardware kit will have enough stuff in to make the parking brake work correctly. Could somebody please, dig out of their archives and post of picture of the parking brake assembly. I would love a picture showing how the brake cable pulls on the expansion lever. Any other advice will be welcome. Thanks in advance.
