Hi everyone,
I will apologise in advance, I have searched the forum and internet for the answer but cannot find it, so if it is out there already, my mistake.
The final big piece in the 1988 esprit project is to get the handbrake to work efficiently enough for an MOT. The rear brakes have been converted over to the Brembo calipers from a v8 at some point. the manual I have got for the 1988 esprit shows the standard caliper. The bit of information that the manual gives is a MM value from were the caliper should be measured and then the slack taken out of the cable on the adjusters. I have searched high and low and cannot find out if there is a similar value for the Bremebo rear calipers?
The other random thing is that where the handbrake cable fixes onto the lever on the caliper there is a spacer. Should this be there?
I can get the handbrake to hold but it is easy for the car to power through. Even tried in anger to wind the adjusters to the tightest possible and it still will pull through. To add I should mention that both calipers have been refurbed and working.
Thanks in advance,
Marc
