Default RE: Rear disc conversion- e-brake cable length

I have the ebrake cables from a 94 Integra and they bolt in perfectly but are short of the tensioner on the inside by about 2 inches...

Has anyone else had this problem and know how to fix it?? It shouldn't be short afaik.

Thanks in advance for any help

The Integra cables will work, you just need to add slack to them like the above poster said.

I actually found out on the teg board, and the hard way as well >.> that the hatch and the sedan cables are different lengths.

With the hatch cables in and then tensioner loosened all the way, I still don't think it would be possible to use.

I ended up finding a dealer with the Civic SI cable about 20 miles away, and that fits fine. It's the same P# as the 4 door teg cables.
