I know there are a lot of info regarding drum to disk conversion on a 14 Bolt FF. Anyone have good pictures of their TSM setup showing hard line and E-brake cables? I have searched for hours and having difficulty locating them.
 
This might not be the best route for ebrake cables but it works.

Now...that's what I'm talking about Cuervo, thank you. I was thinking of something similar. My only concern is running the E-brake cables under the axle where they might get caught by obstacles or crushed. I don't believe that the E-cables like to be bent too tightly so going over the top may not work unless I flip the calipers to opposite sides...then bleeding requires removing the wheels and unbolting calipers from brackets.

Any othere ideas for this setup out there?
 
Im not sure you can swap calipers side to side as the bleeder skrew will not be at the highest point anymore.

Pretty sure that's why he made this comment.

Here are pics of my set-up.

IIRC, the TSM calipers do something different for the parking brake lever/cable than the Caddy calipers most of us use, so you may have to ping them for details.

I seem to recall their levers going backwards, or maybe they just use the spring as push, rather than pull. Come to think of it, 4x4High's springs are different than mine, so maybe his ARE the TSM calipers...

I run the Eldo calipers with the Fleetwood/Seville brackets and springs.
 
Here is my setup.
