Need some technical advice. I recently replaced the hand brake sleeve on my 1975, 88 Series 3 SWB Landy, old sleeve had seen better days. Anyway the new sleeve is quite rigid, being thick solid rubber, and when the hand brake is released, the pressure of the new sleeve doesn't allow the brake lever to stay fully "down" and brings it back up one notch/click.
Does this mean that the hand brake is actually engaged when up one notch/click and is OK to drive until the sleeve starts to give a little. There does not seem to be any resistance when driving.
Appreciate any advice on this, and or if anyone has had similar issues when replacing the sleeve.
Cheers
