I recently swapped a 97+ console into my 94 XJ, and am wondering how the e-brake was done. I got a 97+ ebrake handle, which came with the front cable, which is considerably longer than the old "rod" setup.
Can I cut this cable down to the length of the rod, put a stopper on the end of it, notch the piece where the rod attached to the 2 rear cables, and be done with it?
Or is there another way to do it that I'm not seeing. Is it easiest to just get all the e-brake parts out of a 97+? 97+ XJ's are not common in the yards near me as they tend not to rust out as quickly here.
