Re: Blasted handbrake mechanism!

If the shaft was too far out the bigger gap would be on the outside of the caliper.
Therefore if it needs shims, the gap is smaller on the outside and it's not a driveshaft problem.
I think! Or is it the other way round?
I suspect it is intrinsic in the design. A number of parts, all of various tolerance, had to fit together exactly to give even gaps. Probably few did when new.
Glad it is now working OK.
