seeing that a lot of people are having issues with the au2/ handbrake, is the au1 any better, or perhaps ba?

a lot of assing around to get a handbrake that works?

the correct way to adjust the handbrake is to remove the rear disc.. clean the burrs and crap off the inside drum where the handbrake works.. and adjust the handbrake so that the shoes sit a certain distance apart ( i dont remember the distance off the top of my head) and re-assemble it all, and THAN adjusting the handbrake
