I had the same thing on a 23 Bucket T where the front brakes would lock up. It ended up being the MC push rod binding just a little bit.

Similar issue. Push rode between the booster and master cylinder was ok, but I had adjusted out the brake pedal rod thingo so it was too long. That caused the booster to sit about 50% closed when the pedal was released. Now I've gone too far the other way so somewhere in the middle will end up being my sweet spot.

How did everyone pass up this update?! Doing your own upholstery is a pretty rare thing around here... this is awesome! Well done.
