I am using the FFR supplied ebrake handle but I purchased a Moser 8.8 rear axle from Forte and it has Ford Mustang 11.5" disc brakes. FFR did not send parking brake cables since I did not buy the axle from them. I am struggling to figure out which cables and/or cable kit to use. I am planning to do the parking brake mod from edwardb's thread. Any suggestions on which cables to use? Is there a kit with the clevis included?

Thanks,
Doug

I always use SN95 cables and then cut them to length for a better fit depending on the brake handle used and caliper configuration; i.e. ahead of or behind the axle.

I went this route:

I'm sure you might be able to find everything cheaper somewhere else, but this was the route I went.

I have a set of cables I’d be happy to send for cost of shipping if interested.

Thanks Indy but I think I have found the solution. If not, I will reach out to you in a PM.

I used the SN95 cables, but didn't like the idea of cutting them. I fabbed a bracket to the correct length to permit not cutting them.
