Default Handbrake

Hi,
I have always had issues with the handbrake. Over the past 10 years, I had it adjusted (so it worked for about one day each time) by two shops that specialize in building Cobras. Once I took the car to a vintage race shop and was basically told the handbrake is no good. On my recentmost visit to a Cobra-builder, we never got around to it, as the entire rear end has to come out, he said. Only problem is that the state inspection requires a working handbrake.
I am not a mechanic but try to do what I can.
Anybody else having a problem or solutions they can share?
My car is 425 SC III and was built in '95. It was professionally built and I am the second owner since '98.
Thanks.
OMathisen
