Unsized the front pistons

But even with that the handbrake was still poo & Ive had problems with it from day 1

But not anymore

Wound the handbrake right out
Adjusted the shoes
Machined the drums
Sanded the pads
Adjusted the handbrake

meercat... simples...

Slacken ya handbrake cable right off both at the handbrake inside & at the hubs.
Sand ya pads to roughen them up & clean em.
Machine ya rear hubs or sand them to clean & smooth em.
Adjust ya shoes so ya got brakes again.
Then adjust ya handbrake.
Job done. :clap
But... :augie

Like me you may need a spring kit.
There was so much difference between the old & new.
