Hi Plums,

I adjusted my handbrake pads with feeler gagues to the clearances specified in the Jag manual. I think the poor grip is due to the amount of cable travel required to pull the calipers together and I am sure that the handbrake we are using is nothing like that in the original Jag. My car has the paperwork in at the DPI Technical Section in Welshpool waiting for the "invite" to come in and put it over the pits. I have been told that will take from 10-12 weeks before that happens! I will let how I go with the hadbrake, I believe that the only "give it a push" when parked on the level and my handbrake holds fine on the flat.

Cheers

Ross
