I'am using the Factory five E-Brake cables and planned to use my own E-brake handle from a 1997 Mustang. After weeks of not being able to get tension on the handle/cables I am giving up on the handle and plan to be a new one. I have read many of the posts regarding E-brake mods from EdwardB and others. First, is there a preferred E-Brake handle (Factory five or Lokar)? Are the Mods that most people are doing for aesthetic reasons or are they needed to make the cables work correctly?

As usual thanks for the advice
