Was there any issue before the change over? As dar as a distance away? As much as possible, I had to make sheet metal panels to deflect the heat from my wires and brake lines on my coupe.

I'm wondering if you've verified the brake pedal push rod is returning completely? And is it in proper adjustment? When you feel the brakes start dragging, remove the reservoir cover and see if the fluid is now overfull. I doubt that it will be. Most times when we hear of dragging brakes, it's the push rod not returning completely or too long and this stops any fluid returning to the reservoir.

By the way, welcome aboard.. good to see you here!
