There was a guide on here somewhere for sticking the adjusters from another Volvo model in the rear drums. Did it to mine and it's passed every year since.

What model of Volvo has these adjusters fitted?
Is it an easy fit?
My MOT looms and I'm sure it will fail on handbrake...

Sounds like you have had a difficult time with this car but hopefully all done now. If it is all too much to bear and you need to sell it please keep me in mind!

I was thinking you would need to drill a hole somewhere to allow adjustment like on a brake drum?
