[Healeys] Rear breaks locking

[Rich C]

Greg, 

Your brake booster needs to be working so that you could lock all 4 corners
without much effort. You have some work to do.

Subject: [Healeys] Rear breaks locking

On my Sunday drive I had occasion to lock up the brakes. A person in the on
coming lane was in a hurry to turn left and since I wasn't tailgating it
must have appeared there was enough of a gap to shoot.  For anyone from
Connecticut, I was on RT-25 southbound at RT-136, in Stepney. Nuff said.    

The rear wheels locked and the fronts didn't. The brake booster on my BJ8
isn't working, so the brakes are functional but hard.  I'm figuring the lack
of a functional booster isn't a factor.   

Is this locking typical or do I have work to do?
