For all of you guys (and gals) still looking for ways to adapt the parking brake cables onto your ZJ/Explorer/Crown Vic discs, I found a simple solution (sorry no pics): What I did, when I put Explorer rear discs onto my D44, was to get 2 long side (passenger) cables from an Explorer or Crown Vic (wrecking yard= cheap) and cut the barrell end off that goes to the equalizer bar, slide the inner cable out and cut the outer to the desired length, unscrew the outer cable end off (it's left hand thread) screw it back onto the shortened outer cable slide the inner cable back in, cut the inner cable to the new required length and silver braze (mapp gas works fine) a new barrell end on (made it out of a piece of 3/8" rod with the center drilled out). Looks and works like a factory unit! Hope someone finds this useful-------Hans
