[TR] Spitfire-dragging disc caliper

[Joe Curry]

Check to see if you have clearance on both sides of the caliper to the disk
itself.   I have seen instances where one side rubs against the disk.  This
can be corrected with shims or by modifying the calipers.

I replaced the disc calipers on my 1980 Spit with rebuilt ones at the 
same time I replaced the braided hose connectors all around (but not 
the brake lines themselves).  I now get pulling to the right.  I have 
done the pressure bleeding process twice.  I am wondering if there is 
any scenario with air in the line that would cause one side to stick 
but not the other.

Thanks for advice.
