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.
The glass is not half full, it was engineered with a 2X safety factor.

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?
