Parking brake handle and cable?

[Roylerumble]

What parking brake handle and cable have others used, or recommend?

I have a t5 from a 91 mustang and the rear is an 8.8 that I'm planning on adding disc brakes from an SN95. I could go the donor route and use one from a mustang, but was thinking about a Lokar or equivalent. The more factory route would be to have a handle mounted between the pass seat and trans tunnel. Is that possible on the CRII? I was looking at these:

Or if I want to stay with the handle mounted on the center of the tunnel, this:

This is the cable I was planning on using:

Is there a certain year of mustang or donor route that doesn't look have all the molded plastic? I haven't been out to look at the 90's mustangs I have because they're in storage but as far as I can remember, they look like their from the 80's/90's

I'd appreciate any advice, part suggestions, pictures, ideas

Mine came with the original kit. It is out of a 71-73 pinto. A couple years ago I found a NOS plastic enclosure for it. Works with my 90’s Corvette brakes.

Locar lever and cables.

Don't make the mistake of mounting the lever well forward in the passenger foot box side of the tunnel. My FFR friends with that set up get all pissy when they have to unlock their harness to be able to reach the lever to release the parking brake.

Kevin. I used that lokar handle and cable set. The only thing you have to do is somewhat fabricate the mount. The lokar is designed to be mounted from below. That will put it well below the tunnel cover and that won’t work. I turned the mount “tabs” over and changed it a bit to mount on top. It works great like that and hugs the tunnel so it’s not in the way. Won’t let me add pics. I’ll e mail them to you.

Lokar.. Best to mount it on the tunnel. You won't be reaching the passenger floor in an emergency!!
