You've been quicker than me!

What about the pivot point of your brake pedal which would be the same as the mc piston sticking.

I will have a look at both the pivot and make sure the bar isn't too long. I did get some nice photos though in Newcastle by night!

The other symptom is the brake gets really hard

Front brake hoses cause problems like you descr
ibe if they are original

Do you have a residual valve? If your master cylinder is located lower than the wheel cylinders or caliper it is recommended to have a residual valve in the line.

All fixed now. The rod between the pedal and the cylinder was pushing the brakes on a little all the time. I've adjusted it and also taken it for a nice long run around the twisties! It's a bit rapid!

Glad you got it sorted, and great to see you you've finally got it on the road!
They are a bit nippy aren't they! Mine still makes me grin every time I drive it
