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.

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.

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.
