Brakes binding after getting hot?

<< < (3/4) > >>

Timi:
I have diagnosed the problem, water and air have been getting into the brake system due to the wrong ends being fitted on a replacement brake pipe.  
When removing the pipe the ends appeared to be rusty.  I have made a new pipe and changed the brake calipers on the back as well as the pressure relief valve and the master cylinder.  The amount of gunk that came out of the brake fluid we had it all black bits, grey bits, white bits, and brown bits.
There is nothing left to change and it appears to have worked.
I also found that the steering damper bushes had perished due to the slow drip drip dripping of engine oil.

I had a gorgeous assistant to pump the brake pedal which made the job easier.
