Default Another brake question

OK so I have a 90 hatch std.
I have the complete trailing arm assembly from a 90 integra ls.
The bushings are already in and all that good stuff. I ordered e-brake cables from a 91 si. When I got them to put them on they didnt match with the right connector at the caliper. The ones I got were a ball on the end. Almost similar to where the lines connects inside the car. The ones on the trailing arm are in the shape of a U with a pin and cotter pin going through them
I would have used the integra ones but everybody says they will be too long. So heres my Question: Which E-brake cables do I need?
All help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

the integra cables would have worked fine. '91 CIVIC SIs never came with disk brakes, you ordered drum brake cables.

I used the cables that came with the 2000 integra arms that I purchased. They fit fine.

if you have a ef hatch & trying to do rear disk brake conversions you can use any of these following e-brake cables:

90-93 da coupe or sedan
94-01 dc coupe or sedan
92-95 civic ex sedan

* you cannot use 99-00 civic si because they are a little bit shorter.

ugh..sorry bout that man...could have sworn that you could use the CRX Si cables on the hatch...ahhh wait.i was thinking about the brake line them selves.
I see Charlie listed the 92-95 ex sedan as an option, anyone know if the del sol si is the same part?

EDIT: nevermind, just checked and the Del Sol SI ebrake cables and the 92-95 EX cables are the same.

yep..91 si hatch had rear drum brakes. you ordered the e brake cable for a rear drum setup. wont fit dear disc

the teg cables may be bit longer but not sooper long to where you cant just tuck some of the slack. i swapped rear discs onto my 90 dx. used the entire trailing arms from a 99 gsr. no problems
