Default Parking brake confusion

I am currently looking for parking brakes for my 1993 del sol.. i came across this website and whatsconfusing about it is that it sayd FRONT right next to the parking cable.. does that mean that the parking brake is for the front wheels? if so.. then where can i find parking brakes for the rear?

EDIT: I just need the parking brake cables... i have everything else.. just no cables

What do you mean by "parking brakes"?

The parking brake system is tied into the rear brakes. I believe you have a drum/shoe setup in the rear correct? If so, it's all mechanical.

What are you missing, in need of, or what is your issue?

That dont look like ebrake cables... Search the marketplace.... People often do drum/disc swaps and sell their old drum set ups for cheap... about 20 bucks to be appx.

where r u located? search the regional classifieds

EDIT: I believe autozone carrys them too. 40 bucks each side... FTL

so am i looking for drum/discs for the e-brake cables? i believe i have drums already for my del sol.. theres just nothing attached to the hand brake itself.

Basicly.. i just have a parking brake handle lol when you lift it up, it doesn't do anything because there are no cables attached to it.

Ok now this may sound really stupid, but....

Have you actually looked to see if the cables are missing?

Or is it that when you pull the handle.........the parking brake does not engage?
