80 Series Hand Brake Adjustment

Anyone have experience with adjusting the hand brake on a '92 80 series cruiser 1 HD-T wagon?

I've found the little adjustment of maybe an inch or two on the hand brake mechanism inside the cab near the center console under the vinyle cover and adjusted that to the bottom of it's thread!.

The handbrakes better but still not good...

Obviously the cables are stretched after 16 odd years of service.

It just amazes me that theres not some kind of long continuous threaded rod, somewhere underneath in the cable run that would allow a lot of the stretch to be removed.

Darned if I can find any cable adjustment under the vehicle - including on the back wheels (discs).

Is it a case of time for new cables that haven't stretched, (yet) or is there some other simple cure that I've overlooked?.

For those who posted on my air con problem - thanks indeed. Investigation today reveals that I think we are low on Gas again because the pipe at the back of the engine bay right in front of the TX valve where it should be coldest is barely cool to the touch and the ally pipe into the rotary vane compressor is likewise only barely cool.

It has been suggested to me that for cold air in city traffic I should also consider adding twin electrc thermo fans in front of the air conditioner condenser behind the grill?

Anyone had this done care to comment?. It appears theres a pigtail in the wiring loom at the front of the radiator behind the grill to take such a termistor fan setup, and trigger it with the compresor clutch.

Just curious if anyones done this and any downsides?

Thanks again in advance! (And Happy Australia Day Weekend)!

Cheers
