Just try and sharpen the edge of the inside of the hole that the foot brake rod goes thru most of the time the edge is rounded off and does not bite the rod and make sure the spring pushes up on the metal plate so it will bite the rod.

Good advice Pete, just done the same thing,worked like a charm!
10 minutes with a rat-tail file,and I also gave the spring a little stretch too, just to increase the pressure.
