Reverse pull brake lever and bottom bracket question

Hi everyone, I’m building up a Schwinn Varsity and am having trouble figuring out how to set up the reverse pull brake lever. There is no clearance for the cable in the front of the lever but there is a hole on the inside. Is this meant to accept the brake cable? If so is it meant to be routed through the handlebar?




With regard to the bottom bracket, Ive converted the one piece crank the three pieces with Press fit sealed bearings. I think the chain line looks pretty good and the wheel is centered but there is a bit of excess spindle on the non drive side. The crank is seated, do you think this is a problem? Thanks!
