[Mk2] [NA] Weak Handbrake

Post by si2040 »

Hi Guys,

I have a 1990 rev1 mr2 and it had a weak handbrake. I've replaced the cables approx 2 years ago and the pads and discs but still does not look as if it will pass the MOT.

The main cause of problems with the handbrake is the pivot slider. How to remedy this is covered here:
