So I've had troubles over the last few months with my handbrake being rubbish!

Is it just after driving it you pull the handbrake on and its not good?
I seriously doubt it! |

No its generally, It seems If i do them one way when the guide holds the cable and the spring on the other side i can't get the right adjustment, If i spin the setup around then the handbrake cable doesn't go through the guide and misses by 10mm or so?

Have a look at the last picture.....this is my problem, the cable doesnt actually lie in the bracket, to hold the spring on the cable back?

Can you lock these up when adjusting them? If so then you know that side of it is fine. On 5th Sep, 2011 Vegard said:

yep, the cable won't sit in the bracket, all the bracket does is locat the spring in the kad kit that conects to the caliper.
