Cheers for the advice all, yesterday i replaced pads all round, and applied the copper slip in the right places (to the best of my knowledge!)..for the fronts i could push back the piston to allow room for the new pads but for the rears i had to screw the piston in a turn and a half or so. I presume thats how its supposed to be?..given that, it makes sense that i the handbrake still travels as high as it does..just I was expecting a better/tighter braking effort..i will adjust the cable as has been described but i reckon i might need a new pair!!
