Default Rear disc conversion E-brake cable length?

I'm buttoning up my rear disc conversion on my 97 coupe. Trailing arms are off a 97 Integra. This is the driver side e-brake cable. Does this length look correct? The cable is all the way extended in these pics. I got the Raybestos Element 3 BC94420 (driver side) and BC94405 (passenger side) cables. These are the 99 SI cables from rockauto. Just wanna make sure the length is correct before attaching to the caliper.

You probably need to loosen the adjustment at the hand-brake lever to lengthen the cable. You do not want to pull that cam mechanism toward the cable to attach it. If you do you will be applying the e-brake on that caliper.

Loosen this nut with a box wrench until the cables reach the cam lever on the caliper:
