[TR] TR3A Brakes Locking Up

[Stan Foster]

In the brass multi-way junction on the RHS of the frame at the front (the thing that the brake light switch is screwed into along with the hydraulic lines) there is a non-return valve. Many people remove this because it causes more problems than it solves.

See the spring and plunger in this picture.

Subject: [TR] TR3A Brakes Locking Up

Can anyone think of a reason that the front calibers would lock up by themselves without the brake pedal being depressed. This just happened yesterday to one of out local club members who is currently with a group of other British cars circumnavigating Lake Superior. The brakes have been working flawlessly for a couple of years. He is back on the road now, and hoping the problem does not re-occur. In the meantime, I told him those of us at home would try come up with reasons/solutions for him. Any ideas?
