96 avengen rear brake conversion
I am going to change my rear drum to disc brakes. I have got a complete rear suspension including disc brake and parking brake wires from an eclipse.
I have seen another tread in here where bad venge confirm that the set-up will fit, and it does. However it look like the parking brake wire from the eclipse is shorter than the one on my avenger drum set-up. Are you reusing the drum brake parking wire (will it fit the disc?) or do I need to get a new set? If so which one is it?(if you know)

There is one wire for the left side and one for the right side. Both goes directly to the parking brake handle inside the car.
So there is no crosswire.
Do you know if the one for the drum will fit the disc on the wheel side?

Please see photo. It is about 7,5" shorter and the connection at the wheel is different also. This is the passenger side wire. If I get the Avenger rear Disc parking brake wire will that fit? Or I cut the wire use wheel side from Mitsubishi and handle side from my old and splice it using a wire splicer. At least that will be a non expensive solution.

Conversion now completed, and works like a dream. The new cables from Bruin fit perfectly.
One issue I like to highlight. To fit the parking brake shoes I had to take off the wheel bearing hub. I was not able to get it on with the hub in place.
