Here is another article I just had mailed to the VTR
site on the related topic of TR3 brake problems --
this sounds like it may be the same problem as Ken
Nachman's TR3. Any suggestions for Albert (you'll
need to include him on distribution, as he probably
isn't on the triumphs mailing list.)

Subject: brake master cyl
Hello
I just found out about your article...search it in the net.
Anyway, my problem is that...
My wheels or brake pads get stuck to the drums after say an hour drive.
Then the vehicle will not move.
What I do is pop the hood and bleed the master cylinder and thus I have
another hour drive...
The mechanic changed the repair kit of the MC and again...after 2 hours
of driving...wheels got stuck...
He said that the problem is not within the wheels(wheel brake
cylinders/pistons). Now he changed the whole MC ....and when he
installed it....and bled from the three wheels including the MC...the
brakes were gone...the brake pads literally don't engage with the drums...
Why is this so....
Actually---we didn't do the procedure you did, as stated in ur article.
We bled the whole system after installing the MC.
Now he's saying that maybe it's the hydrovac unit which is at fault...
Please enlighten...
Thank you very much.
