Finally got round to adjusting the cable at the lever, it does look like its about all the way out now although it didn't stop adjusting yet, however, I did make about 3 full turns and whilst it did tighten the lever somewhat, it made no difference to the braking.
What I have noticed is the fact that with the hand brake on, the back wheels can rock on the hub, never known a handbrake do that before, that to me feels like the shoes are really loose in the drum. I didn't dare take them about whilst I was doing the fronts as I only have the parts for the front, rears will be next though and I didn't know if they were going to fall apart on me...
