I need a little help from this board regarding the rear emergency brake cable. I have two ti's, a '95 base and a recently purchsed '95 Club Sport. I just changed out the rear rotors and put in SS lines on the CS and while doing so, I noticed that the e-brake cable has a long route from the center of the transmission tunnel, along the curvature of the rear trailing arms and finally into the rear hubs. There is really nothing holding the cable the entire length. I went under my base ti and noticed that there is a e-brake cable hanger attached to the rear sway bar mount, holding the cable about mid-point. This seems like the way it should be.

However, I looked in my BMW ETK (as well as the online one) and there is no diagram to indicate this part exisits. How many of you have this part? (If you don't mind checking). Did BMW phase this out with the '96 and later ti's?
Thanks in advnace for all who would be willing to take a peak under the rear of their ti.
Also, since I'm at it, my base ti has a black clip for the front dome light plug that attaches the molex plug to the roof. My CS does not. Do you have this clip too...or not?
