Here is a close up of the Cone brackets and the Wild Horses cables attached to the Lincoln disc brakes. Hopefully these are a little clearer.

Do you happen to know the thickness of these?

It's been many years since I had mine but I'm guessing they were 3/16" thick.

wouldn't this give the callipers the wrong offset to the diameter of the rotor by the amount that the bracket is thick?

Yes, it would push them away from the center of the rotor a little bit. I think the amount is probably pretty negligible though. A lot of calipers cover a lot less of the rotor in their 'swept area' than the Lincoln calipers do.
