Default Parking (e-brake) brake cables - Which ones do I have?

I went to hook up the parking brake today on my 88 CRX si project and came to find out that nothing lines up right. So which cables do I have? are these from a teg or are they infact 88 CRX cables or what?


one of the cables found in the 88 CRX Si. They were under the car dangling. See how long they are!


Under the car this is how it lines up to the bolt holes.



I have a 91 CRX HF as a parts car. Can I use


I'm starting to really hate this car

Whats wrong with the cable in the pic? you have to bolt it down with the bracket. the cable is also fully extended pull on the cable from the other side thats why it looks long

Even if you push the cable back as far as it will go it isn't close to enough. That along with the mounts under the car not lining up tells me this is the wrong part.
