Front brakes binding

[ABZY]

I am assuming this is the case due to wheels feeling very hot after a long run. However, what doe I need to change - would it be calipers or try master cylinder. Exact description would be helpful.

Mine is also a 2800 cs RHD (converted from LHD) so have a wierd brake set up

thanks

If both of your front wheels are exhibiting similar symptoms, then a bad master cylinder could be the problem.

A stuck caliper or swollen flex hose can cause brakes to bind, but it is unlikely that this would happen to both front wheels at the same time. But that depends a bit on the car's history; has it been in storage for a time or exposed to damp conditions? Both front calipers may have frozen due to corrosion.
