Check to see if you have clearance on both sides of the caliper to the disk
itself. I have seen instances where one side rubs against the disk. This
can be corrected with shims or by modifying the calipers.

Subject: [TR] Spitfire-dragging disc caliper
I replaced the disc calipers on my 1980 Spit with rebuilt ones at the
same time I replaced the braided hose connectors all around (but not
the brake lines themselves). I now get pulling to the right. I have
done the pressure bleeding process twice. I am wondering if there is
any scenario with air in the line that would cause one side to stick
but not the other.
Thanks for advice.
