if that doesn't work, get two passenger side e-brake cables for a yj.
you may have to modify your adjuster rod by adding a little bit of threaded rod to it to extend it. but that's quite easy.

there's 2 ways to do it. you could simply cut another one and weld that to yours, or just use a threaded sleeve and 2 lock nuts and just thread them together.
