This bracket hold the cable in place in front of the cross member. Passenger side.
Edit: As per the PET, there is one on the driver's side too starting in 1980.
Sorry for the big pics.

Bertrand in the 1st picture you posted,
it appears that your eccentric bolt is loose, it should be torqued to 140 ft/lbs,
the reason I mention this is,
I also found that the one on my new to me 85 Euro was also loose and had hammered the slot round like yours now appears to be.

Thanks for the pictures/ Do you also have the support 928.424.423.01? It wasn't clear from the picture in my WSM but another picture on the website of a company called "Einmalig" was slightly different and told me more what it should be like. I enclosed both. I have 2 of the 928.424.423.01 brackets (#25 in the picture) but the PET parts list doesn't give this number. In stead they call it 928.424.047.00
At "Einmalig" the part is listed as 928.424.423.01 and that's what is says on the bag from Porsche too.

Btw, the reason for my confusion is the fact that I did not detach the handbrakecables from the hubs. Now that I want to put it together I cannot slide the eyes of the brackets over the cables. I will have to cut them open and weld them again once they are put on the cables. The old ones were rusted beyond repair.

Stan,
Thanks. I'll check that for sure in the spring.
Ad,
As per the PET, for your MY ('78), you should have 1 #928.424.047.00. Part #25 in the first pic.
This part is listed for '78 and '79.
PET say 2 #928.424.045.00 (part #24 in the first and second pic) starting in '80. One on each side. But I think there should be one on the passenger side for the '78 and '79. Correct me if I'm wrong.
As per the PET again, from 1983 and up, they added 1 #928.424.423.01 on the driver's side to hold the hand brake cable that goes inside the car.
So from 83, there is two #928.424.045.00 and one #928.424.423.01.
That's what I have on my '91.
I'll edit my first post as I mentioned there was one on the passenger side only.
I hope this will help.
