No harm at all, the restrictorâ??s job is to keep the pads close to the rotor
and minimize the pedal travel required. You may notice a bit more pedal travel
but you wonâ??t hurt anything during your testing period.
What were you doing before the problem started? You mentioned the master
cylinder, I had a similar problem on my TR3B. Turned out that I had the MC rod
adjusted in/out too far so it was not releasing the pressure, re-adjusted and
problem went away. hope your issue is a simple one.

My front brakes feel like they are dragging and I heard that it can be
caused by faulty restrictor valve assembly (part number 116197 in Tr4 parts
manual). I have same part on my 62 early Tr4. The calipers have been
rebuilt, new seals, ss pistons, hoses and dot 5. New master cylinder too.
Any harm in removing the spring and "screw" internals on the restrictor
valve so fluid flows freely. Also heard that you don't really need
restrictor valve.
Thanks in advance,
