Subject: Re: V12 handbrake
Hi Alastair,
Can't say I recall any such problems with the V12, or LG6, which of course has the same mechanism. Could it be that a spring is missing, or too weak?
Incidentally, do check the compensator, which is on the massively over-engineered cross shaft running from one side of the chassis to the other. It is just behind the handbrake lever, and links that to the rear brakes. On my LG6 some "professional" had tightened the Simmonds nuts on the compensator fully, thus ignorantly locking the whole thing solid. This in turn led to only the NSR brake operating fully...not at all ideal.
