Sorry guys (and gals), but the search is down.....

I just helped a buddy swap an 8.8 into his YJ, and the last thing we have to set up is the e-brakes. When I did my TJ swap, I used Grand Cherokee cables, but I don't think that will work for the YJ setup. We have the original Ford cables, but they are too long to use. The YJ cables have a different fitting at the e-brake end. So what is everyone using?
Thanks-
Sam

i used the ford cable for mine.
i drilled a hole in the fuel filter skid, and routed one of the wires through there, and the other in the factory [jeep] hole. it works great. i have been using it like this for quite some time with no problems.

I bought my ebrake cables from MORE. They fit perfect and are no problem for the flex from my SOA.

I re-used the D35 ones. Made a loop out of the end and hooked them right up. Took some booty fab and 30 minutes, but they work like a charm.

i got the back section of the ford cable and then where the two pieces come up and meet together. i was thinking of clamping the end of that to the stock cable with some wire clamps. think it should work ok.
