There is only one pin with the cable through it, the first opening is for a FIXED pivot point, the cable is pulled towards the fixed point which is what puts the pressure on the brake band. Normally on the kart there would be a bracket welded to the frame that had a 3/8" bolt welded to the frame of the kart which held the front part of the brake band, then the cable passed over this to the pin. When you applied the brake it pulls the cable forward thus clamping on the brake drum. I would guess you are missing the fixed pin to the frame. It should be welded to the frame or a bracket and normally there was a hole drilled on the end to slip a cotter key in there to hold it in place. Ask on the site for someone to take a picture of their set up. All the karts I have have disk brakes so i cannot help with a picture but I do have the pins for the brake cable.
