Pic one is the parts I salvaged from the donor '97 Escort. Left to right, the cable that attaches to the lever, the floor plate the lever bolts to (this plate was tack welded to the underside of the floor board) and the lever. The lever bolts to the plate with to metric bolts so save the bolts.
Pic two is the lever in the car with the cable attached (10 mm nut) the yellow wire is for the grounding switch for a brake on flashing led light on the dash.
Pic three is the mounting plate. Note the recessed area with the large hole. The demensions of this recess is the size of the hole I cut in the floor. I bolted the plate to the floor with 5/16" bolts and bolted the lever to it. I made a template of the plate to locate the large hole and the bolt holes.
Pic four is the front cable mounts on the underside of the drive shaft hump. They are staggered because my cables were different lengths. The ends of the cables must be even where they attach to the lever cable. I used 1 1/4" angle to make the brackets.
Pic five is the Cobra cables from MS with the fittings I made to attach them to the 2017 GT calipers.
Pic six is the lever cable.
Pic seven is of the cables attached to the lever cable using 5/16" bolts.
This install was fairly easy. I did a lot of measuring and test fitting before I started cutting and drilling so as to get the lever centered in the car. When you see the parts it's pretty self explanatory how it goes together.

Thank you for posting this, next I need to find a junk yard in the Houston area that has a complete 1997 Escort to remove. Are you using with a manual or automatic?
