Just to point out something that is known to most of us but may not be known by MorrisMinor :
You can get brake cables where one end is a fixed connection, and the other runs through a pinch bolt set in a forked end.
Releasing the pinch bolt allows you to adjust the braking by slightly shortening or lengthening the cable.
This can be a bit of a fiddle, and on my car I have had to grind bits off the forked end to allow it free movement, because it catches on the operating lever on the cross shaft.
