Default Fitting brake cables

Want to know if anyone knows for sure what model I should use for hand brake cables on a Civic 91 si that was previously drum brake, that is now converted to disc brakes.
I used CRX 90-91 si rear trailing arms complete with the calipers and hardware.
Seeing as there are no civic 88-91 rear disc set ups and the cables on my donor trailing arms don't seem to fit.......I need help!

Let me know if you have done this swap and remember what cables went there.
Thanks

Use the hand brake(e-brake) cables from a 2 door 90-93 Integra. Those fit my ED hatch perfectly!

I would agree with SIR Kid. The cables from a 90-93 integra work just fine. The CRX cables are too short for the HB; however, the crx cables you have are somewhat valuable to those of us who have crx's and want rear disc brakes. The reverse is true for us... the integra cables are too long to fit he crx correctly and new cables from Honda list for around $50- $60. So if you are not going to use them sell them and get the cash for your brake cables and hook someone else up at the same time
