Rear Handbrake
Posted: Fri Oct 21, 2005 2:16 pm
I have a couple of queries regarding the rear hand brake.
Firstly, having completely stripped down, cleaned and rebuilt the rear callipers I noticed a felt washer/O ring located in the Handbrake Operating Lever Assembly (where the Tie Rod pass through). Does anyone know what is this for and are replacements available?
Secondly, are the Spring Clips used to stop the adjustment nut rotating available? Mine are missing, locknuts having been used instead.
Locating both these items in the UK is preferable.
If anyone has the Girling Service manual and does not mind scanning the relevant Elan/+2 pages, I would greatly appreciate this data sent by PM or, better still, placed on the web site for all to use. If there is a copyright issue my use is purely educational!
Thank you,
