I have just fitted a set of Bolling Bros. brakes (front and rear) to my '41 Coupe which was straight forward enough.

Generally I am very pleased with the quality and fit of the product, but I am however having difficulty getting the hand brake to operate enough to hold the car properly. It would seem that there is a lot of movement in the lever attached to the cable on the rear shoe before the spreader bar contacts and actuates the front shoe.

Am I missing something or do I need to allow for the shoes to bed in a little more before I can expect to achieve the best possible hand brake functionality?

I'd be interested in other peoples experiences.
