I can't seem to locate the tyre pressure
figures for a 7" front and 8" rear wheel.

also my handbrake has not been returning fully
and the brakes then stick on a little as the disc warms up, I have sourced 2 new return springs
and they seem to have solved the problem for now.

Is there an issue with these rear callipers being a bit "sticky" ?

Your handbrake problem is not the calipers. If it was you would have dragging brake pads all the time.

Your problem is most assuredly the two (or just one?) sheathed cables that go to each caliper. Check them for interference or damage to the outer covers that may have allowed water to intrude and rust to form. Removal is a bit of a PITA but once removed you can attempt to free them from forty years of dirt with the penetrating oil or solvent of your choice. If that works, great. Put things back together.

If it doesn't work? Well, you had to remove them to install new ones anyhow. Wink
