I posted a few weeks ago about my brakes, recieved some tips, followed some advice, and they're still dragging! :-( I've replaced the master cylinder and both rear wheel cylinders with new brazillian parts and my rear brakes still drag. If I adjust the shoes (via the adjusting stars) away from the drums, they work fine for a few miles and then start dragging again. The return springs appear fine, although I have not replaced them (this would require endless scrounging through a junkyard). Any ideas? --Jonny B-) '60 Split
