225's came back in stock so I picked up a set.  Very handy to have fresh tires if it rains.       Since I got them, that will guarantee a dry race right?!

Air conditioner and house boat stocks are bullish.

You have about 2mm or 1/16" of brake pedal play??? just push on it with your thumb, it should move that much before there is firm resistance. A small amount of 'wiggle'.   Only way to really trouble shoot this, is to do while the pedal is stuck. That seems unlikely. Sounds like the master.

I thought the flex line went from the frame to the rear diff? I know my truck has a breather on the rear diff that goes to the bottom of the bed which would probably need extended.

Hi everyone,    I restored my 510 about a year ago and everything is wonderful, except the brake pedal will occasionally get stuck down and I need to pull it up with my foot to get the brakes to release. When I restored the car, everything got replaced, including the master cylinder, wheel cylinders, brake lines, etc. The front brakes are early Porsche 911 calipers (Design Products kit) and rears are drums with 240z aluminum drums.    It gets stuck about once or twice on any particular outing. I've gotten pretty quick at pulling it back up with my foot, but it's definitely concerning since it has happened on spirited canyon drives with other cars following closely. I assume the rears are sticking based on how the car slows down when the pedal is stuck, but I haven't actually been able to get it to stick while in the garage where I can get it up in the air.    I've confirmed that the spring on the brake pedal is in place, everything is tight, and that the brake pedal isn't binding. I've confirmed that the brake shoes are orientated correctly, and that all the clips and springs are in place. I confirmed that the brake shoes move freely, nothing is binding and the backing plate is lubed in all the correct spots, etc etc etc.    Unless anyone has any new things to check, I'm thinking I'm just going to start replacing hydraulics (brake master and then the wheel cylinders) and hope for the best.    I'd greatly appreciate any advice, thanks very much!
