Renault 19 handbrake adjustment

[The real Apache]

Can anyone help with this? I imagine there is an adjuster on the back of the lever but this is hidden by the carpet, the only way to get to it would be to cut a hole or remove seats etc to move the carpet

Get underneath. Burn hand on hot exhaust. Wait an hour. Remove exhaust. Remove heat shield. Remove rear wheels. Remove rear drums. Replace cables. Adjust. Replace heat shield. Replace drums. Replace wheels. Replace exhaust. Job done.
