Elan Cr**P handbrake
Posted: Sun May 12, 2013 6:20 pm
Hello peeps
In the dim and distant I remember the hand brake on my sprint, and indeed on two other Elans I owned, driving me and the MOT testers crazy.
I am now rebuilding the sprint and seek the wisdom of the oracles on this website. I have had the calipers rebuilt professionally (dont remember who, it was 20+ years ago) but the whole assy of the handbrake is very sloppy and the adjusters seem pretty ineffective. I am only just assembling them onto the chassis, and would appreciate real guidance in making them effective or even improving them.
Cheers
Bob
