Hi all
Has anyone any idea how to adjust the handbrake please.
When I release the foot brake locking pin the RH pedal is much higher then the LH one although they both press on the brakes at the same point in the downward travel.
Any advice gratefully received.

The way i figure it is like this, (i could be wrong) First (this is providing everything is free and nt seized) you adjust the brakes up useing a screwdriver through the backplates. turn the turnbuckel untill the wheels wont turn then back of till they move free, Second , you can then more or less adjust the brake rods to where you want them, Jim.
