“Brakes lock when wet, even after new brakes and master cyclinder installed , doing it since the car was new and bought by my mother with 3 miles on it. One brake or another will lock after a rain storm. After continual pumping they will dry and stop locking till they get wet again. Have had all new parts put on over years of work on it and no one knows what it is .”
