Handbrake Cables

- Mon Jul 28, 2008 9:41 pm #63672 Hi basically, upgrading the back drums on my EJ2 for some nice rear trailing arms with rotors.
So my question is, because they came off an EG6 (Led to believe they come off an EG6 from the person I bought them off)

- are the handbrake cables any different in design?
- are the length's of the cables different?
- Can I use the original brake lines from the drums or do these need to be swapped out (I've looked within forums and I've only found a swap out for the brake lines)

Thanks for your time

you will have to use the emergency brake lines and rubber hoses from the Donor car with the Disc brakes.

I used some from an EG9 and they fitted properly and work a treat.

So all in all, I have the e-brake cables from the eg6, so am I right in saying I use these?
And the hydraulic brake lines need to be swapped out for either rubber or stainless correct?
