Indy Brakes
my Indy that is now on the road has all new brakes on it from pads disks and calipers, when cold they all turn freely but when warm they bind a little
the wheels still turn but they are a little stiff, and you can feel it when slowing down, what do you think? let them wair down take them out and take
some material off ? ideas please.

We had a similar problem when our rears were new - the pistons were not going into the caliper enough (at first) the disc's got hot quickly
until the pad material had been removed... personally rather than remove pad material, I'd let them bind a bit longer as they will be bedded in.
Otherwise you'll be removing material, then bedding them in more...

it is most likley to be the break pedal itsef make sure the bolt that goes through the bottom is slack but on the nylock if its tight when it gets
used and warm the bush swells and the pedal sticks on and so do the brakes a common fault easily sorted

Could be the master cylinder push rod has no slack. To check just crack open a bleed nipple when the brakes are binding, if that releases the brake
the master cylinder is holding pressure .
