Handbrake efficiency problem

[Brian Sculpher]

Hi Guys,

My latest attempts to get the handbrake working-following Kevin’s post.

It was suggested my brake cylinder was creating the issue. This indeed was the problem the cylinder was seized and the handbrake  efficiency was greatly reduced. Having now made the cylinder operational and following a test drive it appeared not much difference however with constant use on the test drive it was apparent it was apparent handbrake operation was starting to improve. I would put this down to bedding in issue as these shoes have not operated the handbrake effectively for some time.

I will wait an see how the improvement pans out in time.

I must thank all the assistance I have been given by all the members, especially Kevin/Pete/Tony and the other members offering further improvements.

A BiG THANKYOU
