Here is what I did:

The loop.

The anchor on the chain tension bolt.

The anchor bracket - I have 4 Monkey made of these left.

The length - original was 28.5", now 27.5"

The end at the master - Top is current, bottom is a better angle if you can find it.

I've often wondered about the over the top routing, is there any reason it can't go directly from the m/c to the caliper, like below?
