I just installed new rear shoes, and adjusted until they started to rub then backed off 1/4 turn. The car stops fine but the e-brake does not work as well as it used to. I tried adjusting the 2 adjustment nuts inside the car but they only made it harder to pull up the handle and didn’t improve the braking. Any suggestions?

62" Mini MK1 w/ no proportioning valve.

Make sure the quadrants and levers are moving freely

Also remember to fully slacken the adjusters inside the car before doing adjustments at the wheels.

have you fitted the shoes the right way round?
