The MG / 75's handbrake system is entirely separate from the disk and pads, it uses shoes dedicated to the handbrake system. Wear on the system is imperceptible, so it doesn't need an auto-adjuster.

Well, just a quick update on the "Hand Brake".
The hand brake will now hold on a reasonably steep slope with just two clicks applied. This was after a long time setting them up and taking time in cleaning all the moving parts. A lot of the success is down to buying better quality parts VIA Matt.

It is the first time in a long time that the H/B has got any "Feel" to it , before it always felt"Hard" with no "bite" to it.

And me, I can't see an obvious leak, There is no cross-contamination oil water or water in oil.
I am waiting for some bits and pieces to make up a pressure system to check for leaks
