Super frustrated with how vague the build manual is. I’ve got the IRS and using 2015 calipers and 13” rotors and there is no mention of how to attach the E-brake cable. It mentions a bracket for the Wilwood brakes but there are no adapters in my hardware. Any advice is appreciated.

There are small 90 deg brackets that the cable attaches to, maybe you are missing them?
I don't have a good picture of them.

I had the same issue, I made my own little adaptor up to connect the supplied cables to the calipers.

I have run into the same issue as you OP, the brackets included don't appear they will work for the 2015+ IRS setup. A few people have said they have fabricated up their own brackets but I haven't seen any pictures yet.

If it is at all helpful, here is a pic from the hot rod manual for the same thing - IRS, Wilwood brake upgrade...

No idea how to upload pictures - so will give it a go, but these are what I made up, not too hard to do either,

The part Steve "33rod" posted is what you need. I had the wrong ones in my brake hardware a call FFR and they should send them to you.

I thought the ones Steve posted are for the wilwood brakes? I have that same adapter and there is no way it works on the OEM mustang rear brakes for the IRS.

Maybe this'll help... E-Brake cables on #9365 (https://thefactoryfiveforum.com/showthread.php?27544-40-Watt-Garage-6200-miles&p=335899&viewfull=1#post335899)
