I'm putting the kit on right now and am running into the same question. If I figure it out, I'll let you know - although you probably already figured it out by now...

Lol hopefully he figured it out, or he hasn't had a parking brake for almost 3 1/2 years lol......

A cheaper option than the G2 conversion.
I did a rear disc conversion on my 98 XJ. Pulled the mounting plates off a 98ZJ Purchased 98ZJ Calipers, Rotors, and Pads. Install was rather easy. I love having rear discs on my XJ
The only thing you need to mod is the emergency brake connection.
Some claim to have had to drill/ open the bolt holes on the ZJ plate but fit my XJ just fine.

I installed the G2 kit a month ago and am also looking for brake cables. Anyone use Liberty cables?

I don't know about the G2 conversion, but I did the ZJ swap on my 96 and had custom cables made for it by Bruin brake cables. The part number i had made is 97212, and they're longer than stock to accomodate lifted trucks (wanted to be able to flex+6.5" of lift).
Hopefully this helps you guys out. For '97 and newer cherokees, you'll need unequal lengths so maybe if you measure what you need you can get custom cables done up.

Morris 4x4 makes cables, although some have been less than happy with quality lately.
However they do make cherokee specific disc brake conversion parking brake cables.
I prefer the simple adapt what you got method but I know some dont want to mess with the factory cables...

I don't see how the parking brake is any different from a ZJ conversion which has been covered many times.
