Had a problem all spring with my MGA1600, it ran a few minutes and then
lost power. Finally traced it to clogged fuel filters at the tank (two had
been added ) Car now drives like a dream.
However the hand brake stopped working last summer. (No resistance on the
lever, lots of slack in the cable. I assumed a broken cable or a stretched
one, so I ordered a new one from Moss. Spent half a day yesterday
installing it, and what did it do, same thing. I can't figure out what's
wrong. I took up the adjustment all the way and can't get rid of the slack.
I drilled another hole in the frame and moved the cable stop (the one near
the adjustment) back an inch and a half, and still no tension on the cable.
The rear brakes are good and adjusted. the whole thing is beyond me. Any
ideas what is wrong?
