There is an adjustment nut in the linkage under the console. There is a rod connected to the ebrake handle and going to a connector with two cables going to the rear brakes. The adjustment nut is on that connector.

We call it the hand brake too. I wouldn't use it in an emergency though!

Cheers

You would if your brake hydraulics went out.

I probably wouldn't. I'm more likely to use the gears to slow me down, hazard lights flashing, then pop the clutch in/out to stop...had to do that with my MX5 after the master cylinder ruptured.

Each to their own though.
