1999 emergency break cable difference (lhd/rhd)

Hey I hope everyone is doing well, I'm new hear and have made a point to look as hard as possible for the information but cant seem to find if there is a difference in the e break cable between usd spec cars and 99 and later spec jam cars? I have a 1999 fd and am looking to replace the e break cables. I see some people say they are not interchangeable, and then on all the posts for sale they say both lhd, and rhd so I just need to make sure!

Thank you in advance!

All 3 pieces are the same for all FDs regardless of configuration or year

According to the Version 5 (1999) parts catalogue, both lengths of the handbarake cables' part numbers start with FD01, which would indicate the RHD is using an original LHD designated part. Parts numbers can change if the parts in questions were subject to an upgrade or replacement.

No care about lhd/rhd - the 17" system does use marginally longer cables, just in case that's what "99" in your post signifies.
