4th gen rear..quick question

I have a 91 Z28 with drum brakes right now. I'm in the process of swapping it for a 4th gen rear with disk brake out of a 2000 Z28. My question is, after much searching and different answers, what is the ebrake cable that I need to get to finish the swap. I've heard some guys say that the 91-92 cable works with some dremeling, but is this the 91-92 disk brake cable or is it the 91-92 drum brake cable (or are they the same)? Anyone who has done the swap please let me know what you did to get the ebrake to work.

Modification is required. Check the end of the following link for some ideas:

Re: 4th gen rear..quick question

I moved my car under the carport and raised it specifically to get the conversion cables measured and made. I needed to drop my tank to check the sending unit and now it's turned into a rearend swap and LS1 rear disc brake upgrade. I just haven't had time to finish it up yet but I'll be making cables for the swap and will make a post when I get it done. I hoped to have them done but alas, ^&% happens.

Re: 4th gen rear..quick question

I hear you Ed. I purchased some wheels which lead to upgrading my rearend to and LS1 rear which lead to new LCAs and panhard bar. Its never ending.
