Reminds me of a BRILLIANT Alfasud I had many years ago with a boxer
engine and inboard front disc brakes. Cornered under power as if it was
glued to the road...BUT the handbrake, which acted on the front discs
needed to be adjusted using allen key and spanners every twelve weeks.
To change the handbrake cable you needed to split the front drive
shafts and drop the engine gearbox assembly...a certain Italian logic
at work there :-( regards, John Duggan Wales UK.
