Found some time today to reassemble the handbrake with new quadrant and pawl. Found the new pawl didn't retract enough to clear the quadrant jamming the handbrake.
Inspecting the new parts, the quadrant was OK although the countersinking for the fixing screw was too deep, but the pawl was different. See photo. Needless to say the pawl is on its way back for a refund and I shall have to use the old pawl.
Maybe the pawl is correct for later cars, but the one supplied is different to the one on Melvyn Rutter's site.
