    Parking brake lines for stock Mustang rear end

    I'm using a stock 8.8 2014 Mustang rear end in my build and it didn't come with the stock parking brake lines. I ordered a set of stock parking brake lines and they are too short (18" too short on the passenger side and 12" on the driver side). I'm curious if anyone else has come across this challenge and have a recommendation. I see lots of options for universal parking brake lines, but they all have a different style cable end.

    I had the same issue after buying the stock cables for a 8.8 Mustang rear. I wound up using the 330-9371 Universal Kit. The caliper end worked OK. After cutting them to length I used a modified "shaft coupler". It was 20mm long and 12 mm dia. I drilled it out to 4mm to fit over the cable. It locks onto the cable with set screws. This "coupler" fits inside of the FFR clevis that they supply. It all seems to work pretty good.
