Ok when i got my car, the e brakes were not hooked up. The rear tires are too wide for the cable to attach the way it is routed without rubbing. I want to fix it since its a five speed and all and e brakes are amost mandatory in one, well at least for me.. Has anyone ever rerouted the cable to fix this problem? Any pics of it? I want to fix this and am wondering what others did to do so. Thanks

When I did my M-2300-K Kit I bought the Handbrake Brackets off a SN95 that mount to the Lower Control Arms to hold the Cable away from the Tires.

Hmmm, so look for an SN95 Mustang and just follow the ebrake cable to that bracket? Sounds easy enough. Thanks a lot
