Explorer Parking Brake Cables?

[88xjwheeler]

can anyone with an 8.8 from an explorer (or the disc brakes from one on a 44 like me) tell m what you used for parking brake cables? It looks like the explorer has a left side length of around 35 inches. Obviously, the end hat attaches to the lever on the brake assembly wil work, but I can't tell from the pictures if the other end will be retained in the factory MJ piece. Anyone with first hand experience on this?

I picked up some cables that were about 10" longer during my D44 install awhile back (part Dorman c93113).. They have the factory jeep ends as I used them on my d44 drums.    I just made adapters for my disc brake conversion so i can use these same cables with the cylinder ends on the hook style pull that's on the zj and ford disc brakes.

I did it a bit differently. Have the D44 with Explorer disk brakes. I used new MJ e-brake cables (they were plenty long enough and of course fit the turnbuckle adjuster). For the Explorer e-brake "hooks" I used the stock Ford clevis pieces, slotted them, and slipped the cable in. Works great.
