Mk3 - Old IRS - brake caliper options for 11.65" -old E-brake cable problem
SOLUTION FOUND - Thanks to forum members KGKEYS & RichGRSC --- '98 Lincoln Mk8 Calipers work with stock pads, with a new adapter, on the old T-bird IRS and a little aluminum removal. Still using the 11.65 disk. Took some measuring and fitting but relatively easy. lucky I have a great metal work shop 5 mins away. New adapters were $50 cdn... his min rate. Has the scanner and laser cut machine. I just gave him a heavy paper template. Real nice parking brake cable route to the handle now and no binding.

Hi original Mk3.0 IRS builders, Old problem.
Wondering it there's a better option for attaching the e-brake cables to the old IRS Mk3 calipers? The mustang calipers work fine on the 11.65" disks with the mount adapter plate for my needs but the e-brake cable kinks and binds when connected through the conventional underside route. It also rubs on the CV joint housing.
Is there a top-mount cable adapter or work around?
Or is there a different model caliper that uses a easier - e-brake cable hookup?
