dont understand the click bit on the hand brake test ,as you press the button in and pull up till the car is kicked back out of the rolling road then the measurements are stored

If anyone has one of these bent item 4's on the Rimmers diagram, (the metal Y splitter) which they no longer need - rather than bin it, I will happily pay postage to get my hands on one. I'm just curious to see if I could modify it to make it a bit more robust, now James seems to have at last got to the bottom of the problem of the 'cable stretch issue'.

Picture
James D - That is a teriffic picture on your start of this post. I tried adjusting my handbrake the weekend. including the spacer business which I still don't think can work as you are just leaving the nut further up the threaded section under the lever. I believe the idea that the cables are slightly too long to start with is the best I've heard so far. I'll read through the entire post and all the responses and see where we go from here. I'm at four clicks best but I do think the brake is on adequately at three now that I have meticulously adjusted at the wheel ends and under the lever. Just have to see how the August MOT goes!!!!
On studying James D's picture of the primary cables (with the square sections) these are what stop the cable pulling through the housing further when you wind up on the lever nut. I reckon if you file some of the squared section closest to the lever to the same diameter as the threaded section, and use a spacer, it will pull further through the housing. This may give the extra needed to tighten the lever pull. Last edited by denis; 12th July 2011 at 21:18.. |

Is there an easy way to take a peek at this little beastie? I suppose I really ought to check mine for distortion.

Don't think so it appears to be under a plate that is under the rear section of the carpet, new territory for me
