erm...no mate...thats not the right way of doing it, that'll give you a good handbrake but loads of pedal travel

How does adjusting thr centre part affect pedal travel? Since the breaks are hydraulic and handbrake is cable.

the cable pulls the shoes further apart....meaning the 'hydraullic' cylinders will ahve further to travel, and return.
therefore....increasing the ammount of fluid passed between the resevoir and cylinder........increasing pedal travel...
