I have a related question regarding the fly-off handbrake on the TR4A. 
 How can I increase its' holding power/efficiency ?
It seems I remember reading somewhere that the linkage was re-engineered 
from the 4 to 4A along with repositioning it to the tunnel center, but 
that the efficiency was compromised.  (I can't remember the source of 
this, or maybe it was just a dream ???)  But, living in the mountains 
with a handbrake that doesn't really hold the car on a hill can be 
challenging at times-it seems I'm always going a bit farther than need 
be to find a more level parking place.
Can anyone suggest a fix/mod to increase the holding power on the 4A 
handbrake ?  Brakes work just fine (in good adjustment).
Many thanks for the contributions to the list from all (flames and no 
flames)
Bud P.
