The Mini compensator is the way to go. It allows much more 'compensation' between the two wheels. It's also essential, as pointed out, that the spreader is free to move and the cables are free in their sleeves. With all this in place and the shoes adjusted correctly, I can't see how the handbrake can fail to be good. The adjustment at the wheels can't be rushed, a little patience, and the bashing of the drums with a soft mallet between adjustments goes a long way.
