THE HAND BRAKE WIRE WHERE IT IS CONECTED TO THE DRUM HITS THE LEAVE SPRINGS AND IT WANT LOCK UP WOULD LIKE SOME IDEA HOW TO FIX IT SO IT LOCKS UP THANX

Is there a nut or something somewhere on the cable you can tighten to shorten the distance the lot travels?

Adjust the drum brakes.

Mine are better for it but still not perfect

Just use a very small bit of flat that has 2 ears welded to it. Bolt it to the standard brake lever via the 2 ears. the flat then goes down the side of the standard lever about 40mm which is what it levers off, the other end of the flat extends up about 50mm higher then the standard one does and has a hole in for the cable to re attach to.

If I remember tomorrow I`ll take a pic of the old setup I used on my old drum brakes as its still stitting on the shelf still attached to the drums.

I call dibs Dave

its a 2 piece cable and were it joins, back that adjustment off ,adjust brakes at the drum then adjust the cable
keep checking the tension on the cable so its not to tight or loose
then check it at the hb lever and make sure its not pullin on the brakes when released

The lever on the back of the drum has to travel so far before it pulls the brakes on tight, the only way to stop it hitting the top of the springs is to either adjust up the drums them selves allmost everyday or lift the end of the cable higher to clear the springs.

As soon as you either put in leaf packs that have more leaves in them or add lift blocks you get this problem happening.

You can adjust the cable between the drums and the handbrake lever as much as you like but it will not fix this problem.

thanx that gave me lots of staff to think about if u could take pic of ur drums and post it thanx agen to all

this is what I did to mine
