RR brake dragging
I've only had my C3(1968) for a few weeks.. When I brought it home the right rear caliper was sticking...It freed up soon after... Now it has reared it's ugly head again.....I'm sure this isn't uncommon looking at this dinosaur of a caliper.... Any suggestions on correcting this problem???

Mine was doing the same thing. Found that the brake hose was collapsed, you can't tell by looking at it. Replaced hose, problem solved. HTH

REbuild both of the rear calipers and change your flexible hoses. If it messed up once, it will continue to do so, usually at an inoportune time. As has been suggested, go with stainless inserts in your calipers.
