If it's like the kit I got you'll have to modify the bracket. As you said, the cable is way too short. I had to take about an inch out of each bracket for it to work correctly. As far as I know the SE cables are no different and would need the same modification...

trying to figure out what brake cable fits my car.

I have the FC rear brakes, I purchased numerous brake cables so far with no luck. Seriously on my 5th attempt at figuring out which cable fits. Anyone know?

Any one have luck using a different application of ebrake cable?

You're probably going to have to shorten the bracket to make it work :-(

I'm unsure of how you suggest to shorten the bracket. I'm starting to think I need a FC rear cable. It's weird because I pulled the broken cable off and know the length but not what car it's off. Blackdragon was unable to find me the correct length either.
