Like the title stats, my e-brake is pretty loose, I need to pull the handle all the way up for it to engage. Is there a way to tighten it?
I looked online for replacement e-brake cables and am finding nothing for 99-04 cobras. The ones I can find exclude our cars.

I think there's an adjustment in the tranny tunnel where the cables come together. I've had mine slip out of the slot, but can't remember is the threaded adjustment was right there. Are your rear pads still in good shape?

Yeah, I actually did a complete rebuild of my IRS, and it has new calipers and pads. But it was loose before I did the rebuild. I'll get underneath and look around tonight to see if I can see anything

Mine s too tight and someone who worked on it before, I presume when lowering it, couldn't get it onto the caliper. I need to figure out how to loosen it.
