Sounds like you need to adjust the handbrake, which on the Dart is a very easy job to do.
I have never heard of anyone else ever wanting to alter the mechanism to the standard method of operation. I think the racing handbrake fitted to the Dart is great and very efficient.

Hi
The handbrake mechanism is very efficient but does need to be set up properly. Check the manual & set it up as instructed. My handbrake will lock the wheels even in motion.
