<p>Go through each component one by one. Start with new brake hoses
if they are still the old fashioned rubber/textile construction.
How old are they by the way? Probably decades so renewal was
probably well overdue. Also flush the entire brake system with
fresh brake fluid as there may be some debris in it somewhere.
Try again and if solved it may well have been collapsed inner wall
of one or both of the tubes. If not solved adjust the rod on the
MBC. Still not solved, renew or overhaul the MBC and adjust the
rod. <br>
</p>
<p>When rebuilding brake components do NOT use clean brake fluid but
the special brake grease from Até, Girling or equivalent.<br>
</p>
<p>Overheating is unlikely as that will generally lead to complete
loss of brakes.</p>

finally got to take the car out yesterday evening and while
all at first seemed good after five or so miles of driving
the brakes began to harden up and became so bad that they
almost brought the car to a stop even under throttle. I
pulled over and after about 30 minutes the brakes released
and I crept back home.</span><br

this point I am assuming nothing. Other than perhaps by
feel I don't know how one can inspect a brake hose for
internal collapse but I will go over each component and
probably rebuild or replace the MC on general principle. I
am also going to replace the heat wrap that went around the
manifold which I removed when I first adjusted the brake
actuating rod as perhaps it was preventing the MC from
overheating, etc.</span><br
