How to connect E-brake line after rear disk conversion

[jdlc24]

DIY connecting E-brake line after rear disk conversion. I wanted to improve the braking in my car, since my DX model has no ABS, so I did a rear disk swap. I realize that at high speed drums are not as reliable. After doing my 4 lug rear disk swap I realized that my e-brake line is totally different.

I used some ties to hold the line to the caliper assembly, since the force is not being exerted on it. This just holds the line in place.

After a couple of minutes in the hardware store, I realized U bolts were my answer, so I purchased a pair of small ones.

Now my e-brake works.

I guess that works, not sure how well it'll hold up in the long run

I would suggest adding a little more detail.

I would just buy the proper cables from the dealer, TAS or junkyard. I wouldn't trust the saddle clamp.

Are you trying to use the drum disk handbrake cables? There is a reason there are diffent cables for the disk brake. This is extremely dangerous.

its been working fine. I have a stick shift, I still have it on 1st gear just in case anyways.

yeah, i'm everyone else, just get the cables for an ex/v6 accord. i wouldn't trust that at all, haha.

Just get the proper ebrake cables. They're not that much and they take little to no time to swap out.
