Most Fleabi (Plural of Phoebus) have chipped away finish at the inboard end of the upper surface dive brake. You stick something like a thin screwdriver blade in to pop the spoiler up, then pull it up to fully extended, which puts the control rod end just outside the wing root rib. Then, with the dive brake handle fully deployed in the cockpit, you can just connect the two.

Not too unlike the aileron connections on a Nimbus 3 at the inboard/outboard panel joint.
