DMGRS have a pre order deal on new arms (almost half the price I paid about 5 yars ago).

Hi Clf. No compensator modification. I adjusted the rear drums each by a click and the handbrake bites nicely at 4 clicks. Further adjustment is likley once teh shoes bed in.
Not sure if the bent compensator occurs by people yanking up the handbrake, but as soon as I realised the brake was ineffective, I just popped the car in gear when I parked. No point in pulling on the thing like Geoff Capes on speed!
