Handbrake mod
 

Is anyone in South Wales handy at doing Arctic's handbrake mod? I tried one before and it was beyond my limitation here (slope, not enough room to get at both sides of the car).

I've picked up a new 75 and it is in desperate need of this mod before I do any of the other small jobs! I can pay in beer if needs be :bowdown::D

I'm Near Abertillery, obviously willing to travel and can bring some tools.

Thanks guys

This thread maybe of some help....

I'm alright with most of it except I don't have a lot of space where I live to adjust the rear brakes. Am I right in thinking I want the rears slack ish until the new compensator is fitted? Also, on the early ones can I get to the adjuster through the wheel nuts hole?

Yes, you can. I got to the adjuster to slacken off the OSR when I removed the brake disc.

Now here's a question, was it up or down on the adjuster to slacken?

down --lever notches down -up to tighten--both sides :}

I suspect that may vary according to the orientation of the expander gizmo between the shoes. It can be fitted either way round, so it can be suck it and see.

Isn't that the main reason we love and buy these cars :D;):getmecoat:
