I bought this 67 mustang that had cobra disc brakes on it. How would i go about installing the emergency brake? Would i be able to use a stock emergency brake kit if ordered one? Im assuming id have to use something different since the stock emergency brakes are for drum brakes

you might be able to use the stock cables, more likely however you will probably have to adapt the cobra cables to work with the rest of your system.

Everything with the disc brakes are finished, they work great. I havent looked at the emergency brake cables because i dont have them i just didnt want to assume they would work and possibly waste $100+

go to a junk yard and pick up a few sets of mustang e-brake cables from various years of mustangs, including a set from the year mustang your rear brakes came from. they should be cheap enough that way.
