Can somebody point me to a good RB brake faq for a MG Midget?

My friend's friend has one, and is having a brake problem (all brakes lock up 
suddenly while driving, don't know if it's at random or after use - dragging, 
etc. - or what).

We want to research whether it's rebuildable, replaceable w/ a repro unit 
(archives mentioned being able to go to Advance Auto or similar retail parts 
chain for cheap), or whether we should ship it off to Apple to have it rebuilt 
right.

As far as I know, there's no fluid loss, so my guess would be worn seals 
causing an internal leak.

But, then again, I'm probably wrong.  ;-)

I don't have this problem on my Sprite, as the Clutch MC, Brake MC, gas tank, 
and anything else that should hold fluid is presently BONE dry...  there is 
some nasty black oil-like substance in the bottom of the engine, however!

Thanks

Chip
