[Healeys] Hand brake question

[Rich C]

Achim,

I am not sure if I understand your question completely but the carrier must 
be threaded almost completely onto the threaded stud, leaving about the last 
half turn free to pivot so the balance lever can always find its own centre 
point thus creating balance between left and right sides.
