The MGB handbrake is adjustable via a nut on the cable itself, to be found
pretty much dead center under the car. Unless the rear brakes are already
adjusted pretty tight, playing with this adjustment will be futile -- it's
more or less intended just to take up stretch in the cable, and it's very
slow going. I don't know if there is any adjustment to be made at the lever
from inside the car.
