Have you taken the slack out on the adjustment nut, where the single cable ends?
also are the arms moving round on the calipers when you apply the hand brake? |

ok the problem is sorted (is this a record for the shortist forum)
it turned out to be the leaver arm with the spring on , this is the one that connects the front and rear cabel's had seized up but not any more thanks to some wd40 , good stuff in it . another problem done now the body work .
for this i have to get the welder out . 8) |
