Default E-Brake cabling issue after disc swap

So I have my entire brake setup on my 99 EX but am running into problems with the e-brake. Rear setup listed below.

-del sol Trailing arm
-RSX/EP3 rear calipers/brackets (9CLP14S),
-rotors (10.2"/4x100)
-SI e-Brake Levers and cables
-GSR e-Brake guide


Problem is, looking at how the e-brake cable is lining up with the cable guide, the cable is going to run right into the trailing arm where the LCA meets it... Seems to me that the cable need to be run over top of the hub not below, so I tried this over the weekend (moving the L to the R and R to L), but something is still not correct. Maybe its the GSR brackets, or maybe I am not routing it correctly.

Using BrakeExperts chart, reading other posts and speaking with BrakeExpert a few months back it seemed that all this stuff would work together but is not lining up. If anyone has any pictures of this setup/something similar so I can see how the e-brake cable is run it would be much appreciated.

Trying to get this thing out on the track..

I'll post some pics when I get in from work later today.

Default Re: E-Brake cabling issue after disc swap

I think I have it figured... I flipped the calipers L to R again, and routed the cable out the front of the trailing arm and over top of the hub. Seems to be the correct config althoug bleeding will be kinda a bit**.

One question I have is that when bringing the cable out to the from of the trailing arm there are two holes it can come out of. I brought it out the rear most hole, is there any reason to bring it out the front hole? It seemed to align better with the cable bracket when bringing it out the rear hole...

Pics attached. One in there just showing off the new RPF1's and the R888's, hopefully the right choice for the track.

Thanks for the help.
