hand brake is not engaging new rear calipers

As it happens, we had the same problem when changing a caliper 
on my CGT last weekend. The thing worked fine on the 4000 we 
wrecked, yet once we put it on the CGT, there was no handbrake 
action, although the cable moved freely.

Turns out that the piston needs some time to settle itself. I drove 
around for a while, made a few hard stops to heat up the brakes 
and after that, everything was fine.
