Fitted Artic's modified compensator today, not too bad a job. Handbrake is on 4 clicks, but I know I need new rear discs and shoes as last time I had the discs off I noted that the internal drums were corroded.
Many thanks Steve for this excellent mod, and my old compensator will be in the post to you tomorrow. |

OK all done. This should have taken 1-2 hours, took me 6 in total!
All back together and I've replaced the adjuster nut that I had to destroy with a couple of washers and a new nut. Handbrake now holding like a good 'un on 3 clicks Many thanks to Steve for this mod, my old compensator will be in the post tomorrow. |

Just want to say a big thank you to Steve for fitting my MK11 compensator today.I now feel that for the first time since buying the car two years ago I have a handbrake which works as it should and that I have confidence in.2-3 clicks and it's not going anywhere.
Thanks also to Steve and Gail for their hopitality And nice to meet you cabbers.

Hi Artic
A big thanks to you. Have fitted the mark 2 compensators you sent. These are a high quality modification job. Now 3 to 4 clicks fully on. Old ones have been posted back to you. These appear to have large amount of stretch. I must have been pulling the handbrake up too hard in desperation. Its so good to see sensible modifications coming through which will help to keep the 75/ZTs on the road for years to come. Once again Thanks 75 Ken |
