I've gone through my brake system, new MC, complete flush and bled well, vent clearance adjusted. However, I can't seem to be my parking brake working. I've adjusted the cable behind the firewall and can get the drivers side to grip, but the passenger does not. Is it possibe the cables have stretched over time?

Absolutley but I would run through the system again and make sure you have everything adjusted.
IIRC you can adjust each cable independently ( R and L)... or I may be thinking of my MGA....hmmm |

Also setting the venting clearance of the rear calipers need to be done as the pads wear. |

Welby hit it onthe head, you need to adjust the vent clearance of the rear pads before you adjust the cables. This may lead to the finding thatyour back brakes were not working as well and should increase your overall braking.

Thanks.
I'll recheck my clearances. Also, found a few other posts, probably need to check the lever on the caliper. |
