Ford Sierra hand brake cable adjustment

[NickandNeil]

I bought an unregistered Exmo last year.  I am trying to get it ready for the IVA.  The handbrake is fitted on topp of the centre console tunnel and the cables are sealed off from above and below.  The handbrake is too high and needs adjusting.  The rear brakes are self adjusting drum brakes.  My question is, Is there any adjustment on the handbrake end of the cable, or is the slack taken up by just the automatic cam in the brake drum.  I think i will have to cut an inspection hole in the centre console tunel to check, but I did not want to unless there are definitely adjusters on the end of the cables.

There is an adjuster on the cable where the cable passes through the rear beam near the differential, this adjusts the slack, there is no adjustment at the handbrake lever end.
