In the brass multi-way junction on the RHS of the frame at the front (the thing
that the brake light switch is screwed into along with the hydraulic lines)
there is a non-return valve. Many people remove this because it causes more
problems than it solves.
See the spring and plunger in this picture.

Subject: [TR] TR3A Brakes Locking Up
Can anyone think of a reason that the front calibers would lock up by
themselves without the brake pedal being depressed. This just happened
yesterday to one of out local club members who is currently with a group of
other British cars circumnavigating Lake Superior. The brakes have been working
flawlessly for a couple of years. He is back on the road now, and hoping the
problem does not re-occur. In the meantime, I told him those of us at home
would try come up with reasons/solutions for him. Any ideas?
