I tried pagid shoes as well but they still had not much ‘grip’ . I was sure that the handbrake was spot on when I bought my first 75 new all those years ago so genuine must be the answer but I didn’t want was to pay Rimmer’s prices and be wrong ! Jules sent a link to a seller on EBay and once purchased and fitted I was shocked at the improvement!
