That 'box' should be attached to the left hand half of the axle casing by a 
rubber flap 
http://www.paulhunt73.webspace.virginmedia.com/mgb-stuff/images/handbrake2.jpg. 
The inner comes from there to the left hand brake, and that tends to pull 
the outer towards the left hand brake when the cabin lever is pulled up. 
But the 'box' also has a steel rod going to the right hand brake, so 
movement of the outer pulls that on as well, and equal force is applied to 
both brakes.
