ZJ rear disk conversion ebrake question

Im working on a ZJ disk brake conversion for my 99 XJ. I read a few threads on here, lots of good information but I can't find any details on the ebrake cable setup.

I have the ebrake cables form the ZJ up to the bracket where the two cables merge into one. It looks like I can attach the ZJ bracket to the tunnel in the center and then attach the single existing XJ cable that goes through the floor and attaches to the handle.

Can anyone who has done this conversion give me a few details on how you hooked up the ebrake?

Go to NAPA and get an e-brake cable (part # 95064). You will use the lefthand e-brake cable from the zj, and the new righthand cable you just bought and they will hook up directly to your factory e-brake cable bracket that's underneath. No need to use the zj bracket...
