Hi Just took the Herald over to check things out before the safety inspection and we found a problem with the hand brake.
On the tester, one side has almost twice the braking force as the other side (required to be less than 10% difference). the regular rear brakes were properly matched.
The rear shoes are new, but they worked with the regular brakes. Since there is only one cable going to both brakes it obviously isn't that either. Pretty much the only thing that isn't used by both sides is the brakes themselves. When I put is all back together I didn't notice any unusual wear which might explain this but I didn't really look either.
Open to any and all suggestions.
