Installed an 8.8 (mustang) rear end with Ford Corba R rear discs. I have everything mounted and working how it should. Working on adapting the parking brake and have things pretty much done, but struggling with the cable that goes to the front connecting to the pedal. Does it just hang under the car and then basically rub on the bottom floor pan till you get to the splitter at the control arm mount? Or does it tuck closer to the driver frame rail somehow? Doesn't look right to me, but I can't remember, it's been apart for awhile. I could put it on top of the transmission mount to help?

Other than appearing it needs final adjusting for proper tension, it appears fine to me.

This may help. Stock, low mile monte SS undercarriage:

(y)(y), exactly what I was looking for. Yes I do need to do a final adjustment on it to tighten it up. Just need to weld a bullet on the passenger caliper cable end. Much appreciated!

Here's what factory routing looks like minus the body.

From front to rear....

Don't forget about the little "S" hook on the driver's side rear trailing arm mount. It helps retain the cable and support the adjuster and usually goes missing.
