I suffer from a wimpy hand brake as well. My driveway has about a 20% grade, and I have to set the handbrake, put it in first gear, AND place bricks behind each wheel before I'm satisfied it won't roll away. The hand brake alone won't do it. Had mine checked and adjusted by alledged professionals, but it didn't seem to help much. Dave in KC 85 Westy
