Hey there, I’m a Toyota mechanic and this is the correct procedure for adjusting the handbrake. Good luck!!! 👍🏻👊🏻👊🏻 MR2 (RM762E) BRAKE - PARKING BRAKE LEVER PARKING BRAKE LEVER ON-VEHICLE INSPECTION Parking brake lever travel at 196 N (20 kgf, 44.1 Ibf): 5 - 8 clicks If incorrect, adjust the parking brake. 2. IF NECESSARY, ADJUST PARKING BRAKE (a) Remove the console box. (b) Loosen the lock nut and loosen the adjusting nut until the left and right parking brake cranks touch the stopper pin. (c) Start the engine and depress the brake pedal with the thread force at about 490 N (50 kgf, 110 Ibf) for 10 times. (d) Tighten the adjusting nut until the cable has no loose- ness. (e) (f) (g) (h) Pull the parking brake lever up strongly once. Release the parking brake lever. Turn the adjusting nut until the lever travel is correct. Tighten the lock nut. Torque: 5.4 N-m (55 kgf-cm, 48 in.-Ibf) (i) Release the parking brake lever and check the brake drag of the rear brake by turning the rear wheel.

cheers for all the info , i went a different route in the end and did a hydraulic handbrake conversion , which has just passed the mot test as the hydraulic side of it is all hidden in the centre tunnel , the cables are still attached and work but are adjusted to just make it look like they are the main handbrake
