Default Emergency Brake Adjustment- Where???

My emergency brake will not hold even on its highest ratchet click. Is the adjustment in the handle or somewhere under the car???
Thanks for any help/advice.

Evil-Twin wrote this up for us, it's in the C5 tech tips section: https://www.corvetteforum.com/techti...=158&TopicID=1 but you also might want to start at the top (select the Tech Tips tab from the top of many pages) as there's some pretty good info in there in general.

Thanks Chocoholic. I should have looked in tech tips first. The write up is a lot of help. Looks like a Saturday project.
