Derek and Quarterless: Aside from the differences in the required length of the cable, are there any insurmountable obstacles to making the handbrake function with ES brakes? The subject vehicle is not close at hand at the moment, and I don't recall the details of the ends of the cables where they attach to the ES brakes. A sketch, or better yet a picture, would be very helpful. Dan

P.S. Yes, I know that the ES rear brakes are disks, and the 123GT uses drums. Why did you think I swapped?
