pedal-brake to hand-brake???

[wannabeMJ]

I'm tryind to finish my interior and the only thing left to do is install the hand brake

 

first the original pedal brake in a MJ is a cable that goes from the pedal to the spliter for the 2 rear cable

but the XJ handle brake is a rod that connects to the 2 rear cable

 

I was thinking of putting a yoke end that can screw on the rod and then attach the cable by doing a loop around and then clamping the cable on itself

but I can't find a yoke end in town :fs2: so now I'm kinda stuck

 

I'm also thinking about taking the rod out and trying to fit the cable directly on the handle

 

as anyone done this?

I need imput on this plz

It has been done, and I know ive seen it in the projects section, but its been so long since Ive seen it I can't remember who it was. A search might help, or someone else will chime in. Good luck!

yeah after reading the whole post seems that is hand-brake is from a 97 XJ and not a 90 like I got.

his doesn't go trough the floor and I would guess would be a easier fit then mine ........

guess ill have to figure something out on my own or go get a 97 one at the JY

 

if anyone as any ideas put them in here ..........
