I never got the e-brake right on my first one I did. It's kinda a pita but worth it if you have ALL the donor parts and the skills and tools to do it yourself. But yes, this has been covered before. I'm sure you can find my old threads about it as well. If your going to it though, upgrade to the gxp rear brakes while your at it.

Yes....you can use the parking brake cables from the donor car although new ones aren't that expensive so I went with new cables. The key to getting the parking brake right is properly adjusting the parking brake shoes before installing the remaining parts. Yes...it is a crappy design but it does work well when properly adjusted.

X2. when done right the parking brake holes very well. Fords ones where its built into the caliper are terrible.
