 Honda CRX brakes work with the Honda OEM emergency brake cables. I pitched the stock JH cable and rod as it doesn't really work on floating disk brake calipers.

The 1/4" thick caliper mounting bracket welded to the axle sets a perpendicular line that is through the caliper fixing holes at 45° to the horizontal. So the angle is a bit steeper than Jomac's installation but this allows for better bleeding of the air from the caliper. Albeit the proximity to the shock is a bit closer than I would like but it does clear well enough.

This angle also allows the parking brake cables to clear the frame and radius arms as they pass around the coil springs at ride height.

Also the added height of the caliper allows the Centic brand banjo bolted brake line to bend to a nut I welded to the radius arm to fix the tab for the lines routing to a tee that is yet to be procured and mounted on the diff-housing.
