Hi Listers,
I am trying to replace the hand brake on our 1970 TR6, the
old one failed when the action rod pushed through the rubber "button"
and locked the brakes ON ... I had to remove the pivot bolt to get
them free. It was then I discovered the old hand brake was from a
TR4. I found a "correct" TR6 hand brake from a donor car (original)
and all went well until I tried to reattach the brake cables ...
there is simply not enough slack to do that ... and the cable
must turn 90 deg to enter the Y connector. I released one of the
cables from the rear drum attachment point but still could not get it
to work.
Any help is clearly appreciated ...
