[Healeys] Brake issue

[Michael Oritt]

NEWSFLASH:

After letting the car sit for a few hours I just checked the pedal and it
has gone back to normal with an inch or two of motion, same as it was
before i started out this morning's drive.

At the same time i adjusted the pushrod length a few months back I also
removed some exhaust heat-shielding and have not yet gotten around to
replacing it.  Given the high ambient temperatures I wonder if heat is
getting to the MC, causing the brakes to somehow stay partially or fully
activated?
