Stephen,
There are a few factors that affect the handbrake operation on a mini.
Check the shoes are in the right way; they have the material bonded at different spots on the shoe and this will make a big difference(these are called single leading shoe brakes)"Secondly check the free movement of the cables and quadrants as a lot of your arm effort can be taken up in moving worn and seized parts.
Give me a call on 087 2073643 if you need help.

Hi.
As with all drum based systems, if the drum is worn or slightly oval it will reduce the efficiency. I normally freshen up the internal surface on a lathe and ensure that they are truely circular. Makes a huge difference. PM me if you need further info
