Hi tony did you manage to locate the hanbrake compensator

Just replace it with a BMW Mini Cooper R50/R53 compensator.
This item comes complete with the short cable that goes to the handbrake.
I've modified all of mine with this item now & it transforms the handbrake (provided everything else is in order & correctly adjusted of course).

I think Arctic sells these too or if not, look on Ebay.

If you buy from Ebay, you might have to buy a complete Mini handbrake & then just remove the cable/compensator.
Don't pay any more than £20.00 including postage for a complete handbrake though.
