I am in the process of swapping over to 94-98 Cobra brakes front and rear on my '85 LTD wagon. I had read that the 91-92 Mark VII rear parking brake cables were the ones to get to properly connect on my car (keep in mind I have a foot pedal not a hand brake like on a Mustang). I have the parking brake connected to the caliper on the passenger side. I am trying to connect the driver's side. I have the parking brake adjustment all the way out, the cable is disconnected from the driver's caliper and I'm giving her all the mustard I've got and I cannot get the driver's side to connect to the cable that goes into the pulley/lever mechanism. Even if I could get that connected I don't think I would be able to connect the cable to the caliper without it constantly applying tension to the parking brake mechanism on the caliper.
I did some reading and it looks like I also need the Mark VII transverse cable? The LTD transverse cable is 58.5" long and the Mark VII is 61.0". It seems like that extra 2.5" would be what I need to connect everything and make it so it is actually functional. Can anyone confirm that?
