just get stock sn95 cables from the junk yard, and also remove the bracket they attach to which is spot welded in the trans tunnel.

 

e-brake cables



What he said x10! You probably should snag the SN95 e-brake handle while you're at it (It's virtually the same as a Fox) assembly or at least the front cable that goes on the pulley. It's about an inch longer than the Fox cable. There's no need to modify the e-brake handle assembly at all.

There is way too much misinformation and confusion about this subject all over the interweb. It really is a simple, cheap and easy swap which works just as the engineers designed it.

 

He can only do that if he has a 93 or retrofits an sn95 handle and cable assembly. Hit up your local dealer and see if they can get the proper cables

You are wrong, I did it on my 1989 mustang. I have 2000 ebrake cables, stock 1989 ebrake handle assembly, and a home-made bracket since i forgot to get the bracket off the 2000 mustang while i was at the junk yard.

 

Did you try American Muscle?
Ford Racing Mustang Rear Emergency Brake Cable (87-93) at AmericanMuscle.com - Free Shipping!
Ford Racing Mustang Front Emergency Brake Cable (87-93) at AmericanMuscle.com - Free Shipping!

 

Summit Racing is where I bought mine. Just search on the PN's.

 

Another source might be LRS, I used them for a lot of Fox stuff and they are always great to deal with.

 

Thanks guys. I searched the PN's and found one site selling one of the cables, overpriced. Summit stopped stocking one of them too; it was listed N/A on their website. I didn't think they were something American Muscle would have so I didn't check, but I stand corrected! Thanks for the help. And, I can just drive to AM to get them

 

ebrake

i have a 89 fox with stock ebrake handle and wondering if the 2000 gt cable where the right lenght. If so can i get those at the part store

yes they are, you just have to have the bracket that they attach to up inside the trans tunnel.

also it is a good idea to do the ebrake handle mod so that your self ratcheting mechanism doesnt cause your brakes to drag.

 

Contact LRS and even though I haven't used them in a looooong time you could also try Mustangs Unlimited, at least worth a phone call.

If you can however get them from Ford, lookup Touseley (sp?) Ford and ask for Steve, tell him you found him on SVTPerformance.com where you are a member, and he can get you pricing waaaaay below your local Ford Dealer. Used him for my FR500 catback, timing chain/tensioner/sprocket set, all my gaskets, etc. and excellent pricing and fast shipper.

 

So, before AM sent my cables, FRPP discontinued them. Any other ideas?

 

I would still try Steve at Touseley Ford, tell him you found him on SVTPerformance.com for the best prices

 

Exactly, i keep seeing people having so much trouble trying to get a hold of the FRPP cables, when all they need to do is grab some SN95 cables.

 

So, would something like this work? Just a replacement cable from an SN95 GT? Brakeware/Brake Cable (C2491) | 1996 Ford Mustang 8 Cylinders X 4.6L SFI | AutoZone.com

 

Yep it will. According to Auto zone, C2491 is one side and C2488 is the other.

As stated above... You will also need the SN95 e-brake handle assembly or at least the SN95 front cable. You will also need the associated SN95 cable retainer floor bracket. That's it, nothing to it really.

 

Use the stock Sn-95 cables and the floor bracket.

 

Simple solution: Wagner F132440. Used them on my old Fox when I did the swap many years ago.

 

Same here. I used 1997 GT left / right parking cables, tunnel bracket, handle cable to "T" slightly longer than the fox cable. Works great.
