SN95 Rear Swap E-brake setup ??

[twoloosescrews]

Hey guys, quick question. I recently bought another fox body mustang that already had the 5 lug swap all around. It has the rear out of an SN95 but the E-brake has not been hooked up yet..Can someone tell/show me what I need to finish it up so I can have an e-brake?

Is this what I need? 1 or 2?

If your car isn an 87-92 (you didn't say) then yes you need 2 of those cables

You also need one of these

Ford Racing M-2810-A - Ford Racing Parking Brake Cables - Overview - SummitRacing.com

And the ebrake handle itself will need to be modified

Rear this for clarification

The car is a 1991 Mustang Gt. So getting this ebrake to work is a PITA?

Nope, not at all. You just need those 3 cables, cut the spring out of the handle and a small tack weld.

Read page 15-18 of the PDF i linked above. That's basically your instruction manual

I am at the end of doing the cobra brake swap and have gotten to the e-brake cable. I tried to order the parts from Ford racing and was told the rear cables are no longer available.
Called Late Model resto and ordered all 3 cables from them. They still have the front cable from Ford racing but the rear cables are now apparently being made by SSBC. Of course the cost is more but what else are you gonna do??

I have a complete donor 95 GT for my foxbody resto can I use the entire cable all the way to the e brake handle in my 85

You can use the cables from the 95GT. You will need the front mounting bracket (that attaches in the tunnel) to mount the front end of the cables. I would use the e-brake handle as well from the 95. You may need to rework the rear mounting tab though.

I did this same set up on my 90GT. I used a e-brake handle from a 2001 V6. I had to cut the rear tab off and reweld it on about an inch forward. The nice part of doing this is the spring on the handle is already correct - no further mods needed. You could use your foxbody handle as reference for the exact measurement.

Front cable mount, not the holder with the center rivet.
