I havent done anything yet, except get a set of S series cables.When I've got some time, my local brake specialist said he can do it if I supply him with both the AE86 and R31 cables for about $200....

Hope that helps

well seeing no-one else wants to answer and for future reference I will make an update. I have managed to adapt the unmodified handbrake cables, wasn't hard either, just took a decent amount of time. I chopped the curved tab off the drums brake pads where the cable hook and welded it to the caliper arm, spaced out the standard cable with a steel tube and then welded it onto the caliper. I did this for Adam the starter of this thread.
