I don't know much about Dolomite rear brakes but you may need to dismantle the adjusters clean them up to get them working. Adjust the rear brakes until they are just about binding when you spin the wheel and back off the adjuster one click, the handbrake will have more of a chance of working once shoes are adjusted correctly. This is all assuming that you have manually adjustable rear brakes. With the front brakes I would remove the pads and insert a piece of wood, around about the same thickness of the pads, in their place so that you can push the pistons back in, try applying the brakes and pushing them back in a few times to see if it improves, if not you will have to remove the calipers, pop the pistons out and clean them up, if they are not corroded, and refit with some new seals. GT6 MK2, 1970 yellow. Off road waiting refurb/restoration/modification. Triumph 2000 MK1 1968, being recommissioned after being in storage since 1973. FAVOURITE LYRIC: "I started out with nothing and I still have most of it left." |
