It's best to go by the book for adjustment of handbrake, but here's how one does it, at least for MGBs and TDs: Adjust the service brake, as tight as possible w/o dragging. Tighten the cable adjuster

I think you missed the first step, which is to make sure that the rear brakes are properly adjusted before attempting to adjust the handbrake. Regards, Simon _________________________________________
