Hello everyone new here as a member but have been lurking for a while.
I have a 1978 BJ40 that I have been slowly doing up to put back on the road.
One of the main problems have been the brakes. Still has drums all around. I have replaced all the wheel cylinders, rubber lines, master cylinder and rebuilt the booster. My main problem is I can get good pressure while sitting not driving, but as I drive the brake pedal gets harder and harder to the point that it locks up slightly, with little to no pedal travel. Gets mainly the front brakes real hot. Seams to happen after about 1-2km using brakes a fair bit. Just wondering if anybody has encountered this before and any solutions. I believe I have everything adjusted properly the drums slightly drag on the shoes. Just to add it really seams to mainly affect the left front wheel. Apologies for long message
Cheers
