Mike,
 I was in correspondence with Charlie McCall a few weeks ago about handbrakes 
an sent him this photo showing how I had modified mine to ensure the ratchet 
always engaged correctly and held fast. Seeing the DT list today I note 
someone else may be in a similar situation but didn't know how to post photos for 
all to see. Can I ask that you can forward on directly if you feel it 
beneficial.

Charlie,
 Managed to take these photos today. You can see how I have attached a 
tension spring across the stock of the handbrake at one end and to the ratchet pawl 
at the other end. Just drilled two small holes in the parts and screwed in two 
little self tapping screws to provide the fixing locations. The handbrake is 
always positive now and the ratchet/pawl locate firmly. Feels right!
 Colin
