Hi,has anybody replaced theire handbrake shoes and found a great difference,reason I'm asking is despite putting on a compensator and doing the adjustments several times I still have to wind the nut on the handbrake inside the car to get a good leverage,since I've had the car it's never held on the 3rd click despite many times at adjustment including taking off and cleaning the drums,replacing back plate and all the proper adjustments.Before I get new shoes wondered if any one else has done so.Regards Ryszard...
