Default 1974 Camaro with 1980 Trans Am Rear End

I got a 1974 camaro and we put in a 1980 trans am rear end which has disc brakes. The problem that I have now is that the parking brake cables now do not reach. Can someone tell me what to use to make this work?

I only have the trans am cables which are the ones im using. I already threw away the other rear end as well as the cables because I didnt think i would use them plus I didnt think they would work since those where drum brakes and this one is disc brakes.

Can you take a picture of the brake cables as they are now? Might be able to fab up a piece to adapt from the Camaro e brake to the T/A e brake if we can see the distance and relationship to each other.
