How do you adjust the handbrake of the Mini r50?

Model: Mini Mini R52, R53, R50 - Years 2001-2007
Part: Parking brake

The adjustment of the handbrake, in cars in general, may become necessary over time and with use, so it is good to know where to put your hands and proceed on your own in carrying out this work. Under the lever of the brake in question, if we notice in the video, there is a fabric boot, under which we find a pin, with the cable attached inside and a adjusting nut at the top. It is precisely this nut that allows for adjustment, so you will screw it in or out, depending on what you want, and that's it, nothing more.
