    Default SN rear caliper upgrade - Ebrake?

    Finished up a complete SN95 brake upgrade on the SVO. I even grabbed the rear brake cables from an 02. Has anyone been able to graft these cables into a Fox to make them work. My pickle is the cable end that connects to the brake handle linkage. It looks like I will need to make a bracket to slide the cable into so it stays in place. Maybe I need to go back to the junkyard to get some ideas.

    I shortened the cables to fit the Fairmont's system:

    '91-92 Lincoln Mark VII rear cables. They bolt right in (no shortening required) and have the correct ends on them!

    that too! Although I bought a pair but haven't needed to try them. They were REALLY cheap on Rockauto.com last year.

    I bought the cables from Late Model. Iirc. Don't forget you have to cut the clock spring and reweld the handle.

    That bracket looks to work. The SVOs didn’t have that bracket on them.

    That bracket was used on the late Aero cars and then on the SN95 cars. The SVO although using rear disc brakes had similar E brake cable setup as all 79-86 cars. Good Luck!
