As far as fitting the compensater I did mine last year using the Mini part. From beginning to end it was about 2 hours and the worst part was bending the tab that holds it in place on the lever. I resorted to my Dremel with a flexible drive in the end to remove it completely.

At the MOT a few months later my tester reckoned it was the best Handbrake was the best he had ever seen on a ZT ever. 3 clicks and I can leave it on the steepest of hills.
