80 is coming due for it's annual rego inspection. Last yr the mechanic flagged the handbrake. 80 handbrakes are pathetic. Mine only works well when the back of the vehicle is downhill.
About 2 yrs ago I replaced a bunch of bits. The rear brakes (the regular brakes) need renewing so might try to do the whole lot as a job and then see if the HB can be adjusted.
I don't believe the dogbone mod can be done with the smaller rear disk brake config but maybe it can. Superior Engineering's upgraded dogbone page appears to suggest it does not work with the smaller rear brake setup:
"Note: This product may not be suitable for fitment on pre-1992 vehicles due to a smaller Brake setup. Please check before ordering."
