Front brakes binding
#21
Ok - I have no idea. 
Just went for a 100km+ run. 
Down to
Manly Beach and then up the coast a bit. Back home to the inner west. 
Lots of hill that I braked on and not down shift. Ran great. 

That said - brakes are definitely different to my T3. More travel. Guess I don’t daily drive it like my 1303. Knew every squeak, rattle and movement in that car. 

I can’t remember now what the brakes were like a year ago before the engine build. 
I “seem” to remember when I picked it up “ohhh, the brakes are
nice and tight now”

Thinking now maybe they were over adjusted when I picked it up. 
I’ve done 2,000 kms since getting it back. 
1,200 of those were cruising down the M1. not much breaking. 

Just going to have to park the T3 for a while and cruise in the bay. 

Got to admit, air cooled, Webers, cam and CSP Python makes for happy cruising.

Watched what Julian did. 

Will say, the “lock nut” was only finger tight on the rod. 
That may have been the issue. 

Don’t have much experience with Bays, and totally different to beetles. 
Never had an issue with T3
You can't always believe you tube diagnosis if the master cyl hadn't been off there is no reason that the adjustment was incorrect in the booster, the most obvious is usually the one to follow.
