Well I think we might have sussed the handbrake.............still not wonderful but at least it's now operational, I have it adjusted so it's just ever so slightly binding to hopefully rebed the shoes into the drums & I'll run it like that for a bit & then readjust it all, the compensator is fine & the cables nice & free but we discovered a lip on the shoes which I suspect was causing my problems, never really noticed on Sunday but by that time I was cold, tired & up to my bristols in muck so probably wasn't thinking straight

[jenksman]

Have you read the thread about the handbrake compensator modification, it might be the answer to your problem

[2Diesels]

Yeah but mine is ok no obvious wear or "stretch" but something to consider for the future though, I reckon once I've rebedded the shoes & nipped up the adjustment again it'll be fine

Hi,

Did you get a bumper sorted in the end?

I might have one spare (new) that I could let you have...?

[2Diesels]

I did thanks, now all painted & ready to go on just need tyres & a tax disc & that's it done

[2Diesels]

More bits arrived new aux drive belt & pollen filter, nobody here so I think I'll nip down & fit them now...............must remember a sheet of paper to draw that belt route on or it'll all go horribly wrong

[2Diesels]

Pffff is that it? what am I gonna do the rest of the afternoon?

What's the red cross for is that cos you thought I'd nip me fingers in the belt tensioner?
