Hi Everyone, over the last few weeks I've been working on taking one of the 78 MGB's out of storage. I originally had some problems with the brakes binding up after being driven for about 10 minutes or so. Since then I have done the following;
-Rebuilt rear wheel cylinders
-rebuilt master cylinder
-new front flex lines
-new rear brake hose(chassis to axle)
After all of that I am still experiencing binding once hot. The pedal gets firmer and firmer to the point where it becomes locked and nearly impossible to push down at all.once this occurs the car cannot be moved until the brakes cool down.
I am pretty much out of ideas, other than possibly the front calipers overheating and becoming locked? or maybe something to do with the brake booster as I am not very familiar with the internal workings of such a device.
Any suggestions or advice you can offer would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
