Re: 1969 Custom/10 clean up

yesterday I went over the brakes again, re adjusted the rear to make them tighter and took apart the front brakes to see if anything was seized up.

after putting everything back together I had a friend helping me bleed the brakes the old way, by stomping on the pedal. I know thats not the way, but we where careful not to let the brake pedal go to the floor, thus damaging the cups.
then we took it out for a test drive.
Seeing I don't have MOT, nor doors..I can't take it for a 20mile drive, so it was just 2 circles around the block, but I did manage to get the right rear wheel to lock up! so there is some progress .

now seeing the rear wheel locking up, perhaps I should change the plumbing on the master cylinder again? (now the most forward chamber goes to the rear and the backward chamber goes to the front)
