Adjusting the Hand Brake
 
Bob, what is the easiest way to tighten the hand brake cable. The lever (inside the car) comes all the way and the brake engage very little. I believe the adjustment is made above the jag rear end but how to you gain access?

C29,

In general, when the EB "needs adjustment", it's not a cable problem unless it never worked to begin with. The system is self-adjusting, but it's not unusual for rebuilders to forget that the mechanism may need maintenance after 30 or so years. I have a breakdown of the system somewhere... When I have a spare hour :CRY: I will post the details at http://www.erareplicas.com/427man/jagrear/eb.htm

Noon update:

The page above might be enough. The adjustment can be done with everything in the car, although it ain't easy. I'll get to the rebuilding part of the process ASAP...
