Alright folks i knows theres a ton of write ups on the 5 lug swap, but most if not all are directed at the 87 to 93 group.
I have everything figured out and installed except for the ebrake part. Cant find a solid answer for this one;
Can I use the 86 parking cable with the sn95 rear calipers?
If yes, please write up how.

If not, please explain the right way of going about it.

Thanks in advance

I just read something on e brake cables, I'll go look
in the 5lug swap tech thread you asked @NIKwoaC in post #278 what he used, I went to his post #277 and he listed nrc e brake cables otherwise, you need disc brake cables and the brackets from a sn95 car.

Two of these

Mustang Rear Parking Brake Cable for Rear Disc Brakes (79-92)

Finish off your Mustang five lug conversion with these vital e-brake cables for rear disc brakes!

lmr.com

There isn't an adjustable center cable for the 79=86 cars, so you need to retain the center cable and make the adjustment on the rachet pawl on the handle.

LMR has an active 7% discount code. I would imagine their sales have dropped due to virus panic hence the reason they've had three different 7% sales in the last 2 weeks
