You will have to cut the cable anyway. In its position on the plans it makes a nice arm rest as I have my seat all the way back

The old style cobra seven's
They aren't as comfy as they look. My friend has a pair of jk composite seats that he finds really comfy but I didn't fit in them. I'm too wide, not that I'm fat.

My car

My drivers seat is on a runner and the passenger is on 25mm box with m8 bolts straight into to the bottom of the seat.
I'm not too sure about the jk ones, I think he had a runner but I'm not sure. Have a look at the jk website they look nice but you need to sit in one first.
Tillet are also very nice but costly, especially in carbon

haha nice one with the bracket
my hand brake is further back and yes I shortened the cable . like said above try and lower it if possible mine lands nicely inside my arm when reaching for the gear lever, also I padded out the tunnel top so the handbrake appears lower.
Seats , I used westfield sports seats
if you troll through my build you will see photos of seat and handbrake if you need more shout and I'll take some better ones

heres my mx5 handbrake. i cut the cable bracket from the donor and welded that in the same place as the book bracket, then fitted the cables which gave me the handle position, works a treat and means its all standard, the saturn plans show a homemade cable for the last bit which i just dont like
