<VV> Brake gremlin

[Doug Mackintosh]

Actually the Factory manual (1961) says to pull the handle up 4 clicks, then adjust the cable to get heavy drag on the wheels. Heavy drag by hand is not going to hold the car on a hill, so I am sure after that adjustment you would be able to pull the handle much more than 4 clicks (probably 9 clicks :-))
   
  I don't know what the Concours rule is. I vaguely remember someone telling me to pull my brake a few clicks with it idling, then shift to D and R to prove it didn't move. But I don't remember how many clicks. My last judging form said "strain at half travel" as the judging criteria for the parking brake - not sure what that might mean.

  Supposedly, 
that would be "factory" adjustment.>>
