Works well and looks like a factory fit.

I have seen the cable clamp solution and know that it works and is IVA acceptable.
I did the same as sapper's solution but wasn't confident it would be strong enough at the time but it has survived, even pulling off hand brake turns with a big grin.

However, after seeing Mark's solution would certainly recommend that route.
