I like everything you have drawn and done, with one exception, or question - I am concerned about your faith in the hose clamp and small L brackets to hold it all back together. Epoxy/JBWeld is good stuff and possibly a better method considering the inherent vibration.

That is certainly a possibility. I basically copied the idea from the other end of the cable, where it attaches to the coil with bent over tabs. If the bracket method fails I'll epoxy it. I could also get one of the syringe style epoxies and shoot some between the wire plate and the lock body, that should certainly hold it in conjunction with the brackets.

Basically the bracket method was an attempt to make it easy to get it all back apart in case I screwed something up.

be careful with jb weld, especially quick weld. it has metal bits in it and can conduct electricity. even though a small amount.

I made sure to look this up before fixing my key switch tonight.

not sure about regular epoxy though.
