OH Can you use GSL e brake cables on GSL-SE rear?

I know they have different part numbers, but I was wondering if it was possible.

Please advise.

I used my GSL e-brake cables on my GSL-SE rear end swap, works fine. Took some creative elbow greasing, but it worked!

Can you elaborate? What problems did you run in to? I have no problem customizing, jsut want to know what I'm looking at.

Thanks,

I used SE brake cables on my GSL and the SE drivers side is too short and the passenger side is too long so you have to be clever about it to make the se lines work on the GSL brakes you have to be clever.

when I did the se swap in my gsl I used the gsl cables. If I remember correctly, I had to adjust the e brake lever, then re-adjust after getting it hooked up.
