ZJ disc and 8.25 swap at same time, will e brake work?

I am pulling the 35, I have an 8.25 I pulled from a yard as well as the zj disc. Will there be any way to make the e-brake work with the cable from the 35? thanks

Yep. It will be obvious and all you need is some small cable clamps. No worries.

My 2001 XJ is at 4" and uses the stock parking brake cables. To get the extra length needed, move the parking brake bracket rearward a couple of inches. Works fine with no binding.

The parking brake able ends are different. I cut the parking brake arms off both the XJ and ZJ. The XJ arm ends were then welded to the cut ZJ arms, allowing the stock XJ cables to be used.

I should have asked this first I guess not that I almost done with the brake swap on the 8.25. Will this still work all right on my Jeep as it had a D35 with ABS. I ripped off the ABS lines already, but twill the system still work properly with eh discs if it was working fine with the drums?

yes your regular brakes will still work correctly, though will not have ABS. if you wanted to you could put it back in and adapt the zj backing plate to work i believe

I ran into this when I swapped in a Dana 44 with junk yard Exploder disk brakes on my ABS equipped 98. The ZJ swap will probably have the same issue I experienced. The ABS will not fit on the backing plate without eliminating your e-brakes. There just isn't enough space for the e-brake assembly and the sensor.

Depending on the year 96 and later I think. you can just eliminate the fuse and relay that power the ABS. Not sure what is eliminated with the earlier models but it is more involved.
