Big thanks!
A very big thanks for sorting out the handbrake on our great cars!
I did the Mini R53 swap this weekend but didn't get to adjust the rear hubs due to pressing BBQ duties. So since I was locked out of the house this evening I had a go at the hub adjustments and I am completely amazed at how good the Rover 75 handbrake can be. I used a pair of ratchet straps to hold up the centre console while I worked on the compensator swap. Only because I didn't have a lump of wood hanging around, they worked really well too. Now I just have to replace the rear passenger door my daughter and son-in-law 'modified' and she will be as good as new again!

Handbrake Mod R53
Pictures all replaced after some editing, so the members whom have been waiting you can now get stuck in.
PS the stainless steel Compensator is still available despite the rumour that seems to be going around on FB via certain people and members from here. I have not stopped modifying the compensators for members, but as I am not on FB I will not send any out to FB owners whom try to get one via other members on any forum. Therefore if you require one please contact me through PM here or another forum I am on only.

Bit of a "Holy Thread resurrection Batman",
But Steve can you confirm the Bmini link is for the complete handbrake assembly including the compensator cable?? seems way too cheap, and in any case the mini handbrake also a straight swap? or is that not possible? I fear my issues are the cables into the plates at the rear as I've already 'fixed' my compensator many moons ago, but as I unable to carry out any work on the car at the moment due to 'Incapacity', I wanted to get the parts ready to replace as a matter of course to guarantee no issues, and once the MOT is through I might fit the R53 set up if I remove the seats etc as i could do with a replacement carpet really Ref the rear cables, can anyone confirm that Rimmers are indeed selling genuine MGR Replacement cables? or are they actually a re-make? and inferior? I think I need to source a set in case my Garage is unable to sort out the HB issues, and I've already had a report that the cable to plate area was extremely rusty and corroded Last edited by NOCTURNAL; 16th March 2017 at 10:45.. |

I doubt you will need new cables ? maybe back plates as they could be corroded, some members have added washer and other fixing to repair. As for the Mini compensator click the link below http://www.the75andztclub.co.uk/foru...20#post2462820

Just fitted the mini compensator to a V8
Please note that owing to the differences in the transmission tunnel there is a seam with a thick layer of seam sealant under the handbrake quadrant leaving only about 2-3mm so it can be almost impossible to fold back the tab in order to remove the front cable and replace with the new one. If this is the case it was found that removal of the handbrake leaver was the only way the cable could be replaced Russ
