Hi Big E, did not mean to offend, I also understood what you were saying, but to someone who did not understand, it could of taken it the other way and that was my point.:)

RFR means Reason For Rejection or FAIL in plain speak.....So RFR is anything which "the tester" finds to fail any component etc...No arguments just a misinterpretation of my post(thats one of the problems with posting,people don,t always read it the way it is meant).....;)

Sorry lads I didnt mean to start any arguements. Could you explain what an RFR is and in what circumstances it may apply.

Sorry Big E, if it is original equipment or not it can fail if RFR's can be applied, however as long as it operates as a fly off h/brake should, with no reason for rejection, then it is ok. I know what you were trying to say!:)

Correct, a similar type of handbrake lever is also fitted to XJS Jaguars.

I have spent the last 5 years rebuilding a 1969 Mk3 Triumph Spitfire. The car is fitted with a flyoff handbrake originally fitted to these cars. Most had the standard style handbrake that wer ae all used to with a ratchet but an factory optional extra was the flyoff type. You need to pull the lever up and then press the button in to lock the lever in place. To disengage you simply raise the lever slightly and let go.

My question is will the car pass the test with this or will I need to fit the later style brake.
