Default 93 Del Slow rear disc brake conversion

I installed a 95 Integra rear disc setup into my 93 Del Sol. Everything bolted on nicely, except for the E-brake lines. The Del Sol E-brake line have more slack compared to the Integra E-brake lines. Should I try and modify the Del Sol Drum brake line to fit the Integra disc brakes? Or get the E-brakes off a Del Sol the came with rear disc brakes?

Get the E-brake cables that comes of a del sol with disc brakes. They mount on differently than civics and integras. They are almost suspended by the bracket underneath the car. The braket the holds both cables near the handle is underneath the car versus inside the car like that of a civic/integra.

Oh, and no you cannot use the ebrake cables from the drums.

Yep gotta use the weird *** DelSlow e-brake lines from a disk set-up. I think I threw away the ones that came off the Sol I had.

I replaced the E-brake cables from a del sol with rear disc. I blead the brake lines all around and now I have to press the pedal all the way down in order to stop. Can i just replace the proportional valve to a 40/40, or do I have to replace the brake master cylinder and brake booster as well? I have the 40/40 brake proportional valve, brake master cylinder, and brake booster from a 95 GSR with ABS. Will these parts work okay on my Del Slow? Thanks again.

Yes use the master cylinder. You will see it is much large than the one you have now. Once you use the integra master cylinder, you're long push down will go away. You can get away with not using the proportion valve, (I did) I think for you're car that didn't have ABS, you need the proportioning valve from an integra RS or any 90-93 integra non-abs with 4-wheel disc brakes. Unless you just want to flare the current lines to make your new valv fit.
