So we are already with GT350 #1341 for our 1st big show this Sat the 3rd and we are having problems with the rear brakes.
The entire system is new
Dewy restored booster
Dead nuts master cylinder
Calipers restored by Shelby Parts & Resto
New distribution block
All new lines
NPD wheel cyl. https://www.npdlink.com/product/wheel-cylinder-brake/139832?backurl=search%2Fproducts%3Fsearch_terms%3DT-2262-2%26top_parent%3D0%26year%3D
All new drum hardware
And we do have an original proportionig valve that was rebuilt.
Tonight I adjusted the rear drums, they would spin freely and lock when brake applied with car off.
I did this becuase after a short drive on sunday the rear wheels got pretty hot to touch. So I revisited readjusting brakes tonight.
We went for about a 2 mile drive. Initlally brakes felt good and we could coast nicley down a slight hill and car was driving really well.
Towards the end of the drive we got out to switch drivers and checked temps of wheels. The rear drums were warm, nothing you couldnt keep your hand on. So we started to go down street again and coasted again and we could tell rear brakes were binding. Turned aound went back up street to our garage and as approaching garage we had some rear brake squeel. Into garage, car off, up on jack and I could not turn wheels by hand.
I was able to back off the adjusters to free up wheels, however when doing that the emegency brake would not lock the right rear.
If the proportioning valve was not rebuild correctly could this be the result?
Prior to the adjusting I pulled drums and all looked good inside primary and secondary shoes correctly installed along w springs, equalizer bar and emergency brake components.
