Default Can I use the Delsol ebrake cable?

I got my rear discs assemblies yesterday, and as I asked they didn't cut the ebrake cable, but can I use it on a civic hatch conversion? Or is it too short?

I hope so, it took me about three set off trailing are assemblies to get ones with the cables.

Anyone else? Speculations, idea, blasphameys?

Try it and find out- from eyeing it when I did mine it was too short so I just went with Civic EX cables.... but try it first and see.

I would hook it up to the ebrake and to the caliper with out securing the brakets and then bolt the brakets on.

I'd think it'd be too short. But that's my opinion.

Well, if anyone is interested the civics wheel base is 101.2 inches, and the delsols is 93.3 inches, so there is approximatly 8 inches difference, so maybe they won't, it is going to be close. Maybe I can fabricate the civics lines to attach to the delsols fittings, anyone have info on this?
