04 Cobra Rear Disc Swap, What About The Parking Brake?

[gdub695]

I swapped to cobra brakes on my 88, and the change to discs leaves me needing a new parking brake cable. I used calipers and brackets off an 04 cobra, does anyone know what parking brake cable I need? I was wondering if I could just use an 04 cobra cable, but I have no clue if it would be the right length. I'm sure someone here has done this swap before, so any help would be appreciated

See http://www.mustangcentral.net/tech/brake.html for help with the emergency brake. The red words link to some very useful photos on how to modify the handle. The stock setup tends to lock up and not release properly. Use a M-2810-A* Parking Brake Cable (short cable that attaches to the parking brake handle)

Cant use the self adjust spring on the handle...You need, the shorter brake cables, to weld the brake handle onto the second notch on the gear, disable and remove the coiled handle spring, drill and add the nut adjusted cable to the handle to euqal8zer bar. follow the diagram below
