Im driving a 4 drs B110 with h145 axle...
The problem is the hand brake wont lock no matter how hard i pull...
I already replace the shoes n adjust the cable...
I think most of the Datsun like h145 n h150 axle got the same problem...
Any solution???
Thanks in advance...

have you tested the brake with the drum off with the help of a friend? is it doing the same thing when it's dead cold as when you've been for a drive to warm up the car? You install the springs in the right spots?

You can adjust the cable and you can adjust the shoe spacing with the adjuster near the wheel cylinder. My drums or shoes need replacing because the adjuster is in pretty tight but that's another problem for another day.

I tried in all ways...
Same when cold or hot...
I juz wont lock up even i pull it hard...
Compare to toyota,datsun's hand brake hv more linkages...
I think tat where those linkage effect the hand brake system...

Do you mean it wont lock up the rear wheels whilst in motion?
In one of the mini's i have had it wouldnt lock up the rears either, just gave it a stab of the brakes whilst the hand brake is on and then bam around it goes...

Yes,lock in motion...
Sorry ,i din make it clear earlier...
Do u mean weight transfer?
I tried tat too...
Sometimes it works but only on wet surface...

Nothing wrong with the datsun handbrake... adjust drums, then handbrake should be about 4-5 clicks before fully on if i remember right.

Should spin on a 50c peice.

yeah properly adjusted handbrake should lock the rears with ease. unless your running really grippy tires on the rear

I adjust d..
I tried 2 clicks n 5 clicks...
The result r the same...
Anyway i try again later...
Thanks...

do you have a locked/welded diff or lsd?? i used to have the same problem after i welded my diff. i found extending the levers on the back of the drums worked well, i only extended it 30mm and you can easly lock both wheels at 60kph (in the dry), but you still end up stretching the cables and bending the shoe's if you use it to much.. if your going to use it alot i would recomend using a hydrulic handbrake, which is what i did in the end, it works every time with little effort, even at 100kph+ on dry roads with good tyres..

the hanbrake cables are held to the diff with a bit of rubber....


if the rubber is perished... the is no way in hell the handbrake will work...
