FWIW, this happened to my on my 58 MGA after a brake rebuild. I had
rebuilt all cylinders, master cylinder, flushed out the lines and
replaced with silicone fluid. Whenever the temperature got over
70 deg. F (appx. 21 deg. C), the brakes would bind. I got to carrying
a box wrench in the door pocket and jumping out and loosening the
driver's side rear bleeder whenever this would happen to relieve
the fluid pressure. The fluid would shoot out, even without a
foot on the pedal.

I wish I had read this about 6 months ago. I just renewed my '58 MGA's
hydraulics and used silicone. Haven't driven it much yet, but I guess I'll
find out this summer.
