Handbrake mod
Is anyone in South Wales handy at doing Arctic's handbrake mod? I tried one before and it was beyond my limitation here (slope, not enough room to get at both sides of the car).
I've picked up a new 75 and it is in desperate need of this mod before I do any of the other small jobs! I can pay in beer if needs be I'm Near Abertillery, obviously willing to travel and can bring some tools. Thanks guys

I'm alright with most of it except I don't have a lot of space where I live to adjust the rear brakes. Am I right in thinking I want the rears slack ish until the new compensator is fitted? Also, on the early ones can I get to the adjuster through the wheel nuts hole?

Yes, you can. I got to the adjuster to slacken off the OSR when I removed the brake disc.

Now here's a question, was it up or down on the adjuster to slacken?

Isn't that the main reason we love and buy these cars
