Handbrake
My handbrake comes up really high so i decieded to adjust it, i really dont know alot about working on cars but i thought id give it ago, after crawling under the car and removeing the heatshield (came off really easy) i was met with this sight
I dont think the picture really shows just how much of an angle it is at, from the haynes book and guides on here i assumed it would be straight. Is this a sign of some other problem?

looks ok, do you have rear drums? if so you should really adjust the shoes, then adjust the cable to suit.

As said before though adjust your drums first, probably wont even need any adjustment at the cable.

Hi,
Could anyone tell me what the bolt leading to the cables is and where I can purchase a replacement.
Cheers
