The handbrake on my 944 brakes has been a pain since day one as when the brake is applied i can move the wheel slightly and feel the shoes moving inside .This appears to be a design error as there is no fixed point to the backplate like a type 1 drum.I have recently made an alteration so the shoes sit on the block at the bottom to start with (cable slackend off)and the adjustment then made with the star adjuster at the top.I have tried adjusting the shoes closer to minimise the amount they move off the block but then i get releasing problems .The whole design seems ver poor .
I have thought about making the adjuster fixed at the top but there is a lack of room as i would need 2 star adjusters and a fixed block in the middle.
Good to be back ,and thanks to people who posted link on STF
