i took my Beaumont on the road a couple of times so far
i checked the brakes before putting it on the road and changed all pads that where greasy ( 4 drums ) and replaced 2 cylinders 1 on pass side in front and 1 on drivers rear side due to greasy cylinders
i reassembled every thing and losened up the ajusters to the min.
springs looked ok and put every thing back in place like it goes always checking the opposite side
so when i drive i feel the brake stick very slightly but not to bring much heat to the rims but whwn the car stops when i let it roll i feel a slight resistence
any ideas any one ?

so after changing a Wheel cyl ( i had changed this spring ) the front drivers side pads do not come back in to thereplace my ajusters are set to the minimum
i took of the drum and had someone press gently on the pedal and i can see when the pedal is released that the pads do not come in to there closed if i can say position
the pins do not come back completely in the cylinder i have to open the bleeder to push them back in to place
what the f*** is going on ? could it be dirty brake oïl or the check valve Under the master cyl that would not release the pressure like it should
the pass side brake is ok it s only the front drivers side that sticks
any ideas ??

If you crack the bleeder on the wheel cylinder and the shoes don't return on their own, doesn't sound like residual brake/hydraulic pressure. Sounds like weak or hung up return springs. Pop off other side and make sure springs are mounted the same or just buy a new spring kit.
the master is one year old will check the bleed hole on the master the springs are quite stiff to put back in place i can say
i will check the lines on that side they are not to long to go through
