How do I go about getting PBR ebrake cables to fit on my drum car?

I got a mosier that has 4th gen PBR rears. The ebrake cables are shorter from the end to the mounting point than the drum cables.

Any ideas?

PIC (resized to load quicker)
I need the middle

I'm having the same problem. My 4thgen rear came from a 97 and the two cables I bought don't fit my car. I had ordered two from the GMpartsdirect site supposedly for a 91 TA...

Cables

You could use the ones you have (top & bottom) and make a braacket like the 4th gens have (see pic) and weld it to the floor.

What should the bracket be made out of and where should it be mounted?
