Thanks for the help, I'd read through those 3 threads several times they were very useful.

Pleased you are sorted my friend, lotsa good folks here to help if we can.

Do a clefty wallah and have it away, and you have the makings of a smart crank shaped ergonomic mod for your handbrick.

It passed!

Just as strong as footbrake now. At 20mph pull handbrake on and back wheels lock up solid. Car has to drag them.

From binding the new shoes in the top corner to 300 miles later adjusting the dial 3 rotations shows how much Bedding in they took. Then the lever was still slack so I pumped it about 30+ times (keeping button pressed) and now I have the best performing handbrake I've ever had on a car.

Really pleased. Thanks again guys :)
