Hi guys
I own a 69 type 1 with drums all round and the dual circuit type cylinder. When I let the car sit overnight and go to drive it in the morning, the strangest thing occurs only the very first time i try applying the brakes: they react violently as if they had been boosted and the left wheel locks instantly resulting in the steering wheel turning left and the car skiding. If though I pump the pedal a few times before driving off this event does not occur. This has puzzled me for a while since it only occurs if the car has been siting for like 5-6 hours or more and the brakes have had a chance to rest. And yes, I've had them adjusted and it still happens. My MOT test showed that the brakes are ok and the drums are nice and even (had them machined). Could it be that one drum is machined more than the other? even so, if you adjust them properly this shouldnt be a problem right?
Thanks, BugThug
