    Reminds me of my old Neon stuff when I used to race the Neon Cup. Might be a Chrysler application.

    Looks like an Explorer setup or possibly from a Mark VII... The cast caliper mounts have me leaning toward Explorer though.

    I now have e-brake cables for 67-70 Mustang designed specifically for COBRA brakes.  They hookup looks jut like that, except the cables have a round lug on the end where they attach.  Your caliper looks like it has as ingle hook which might require an end with a hole in it?  I am not familiar with that style end, unless the pics just aren't showing it clearly.

    Money you enjoy wasting is NOT wasted money... unless your wife finds out.

    Ford Explorer.  I have the same.  You can use the explorer  e-brake ends with cable clamps or buy a set of Lokar cables.

    I don't see why that would not work...  That is the same cable end.
