[Roadsters] Roadster Dunlop brakes

[joey]

 May I ask a brake related question?I have a 69 2000.  For a while now, after I released the e-brake, the car wouldn't roll but as soon as you pushed it or it started moving with the car on a grade, you would hear the pop from the right rear brake and then it would freely roll.  Well, I finally go around to looking at it and the wheel cylinder was blown out and leaking badly.  It's pretty obvious it's been that way for a while.   Since I was having the alignment done, I had the shop put in the wheel cylinder and check the rest of the brakes.  The other 3 corners looked fine and the pads up front and drumps in the back looked fine.   HERE IS THE PROBLEM I"M HAVING.....
When I hit the brake, I now hear some squealing from the left rear (which they didn't even touch).  It starts as almost a sssshhhh noise when lightly hitting the brakes to squealing/shrieking when pressing hard.  I took it back in and they did something and made it better, but I still here something in the left rear that isn't right, even though it's not nearly as loud.  And remember, they didn't even service the left side.   And when I really jump on the brakes, the car shifts to the left.  It doesn't pull on the steering wheel so I think it's the left rear brake (not the front left brake) braking more than the right rear.  it never pulled before and the brakes never made noise before, other than when the e-brake popped loose.
Any idea what this might be and how to fix it?Thank you!Joey1969 SRL-311

 Did you have to do any front/bias problems that needed dealing with?
What size are your rear cylinders?

 The Volvo conversion definitely does as that is what I have on mine car.

  I believe the Altima rotor / Volvo caliper conversion fits under 14-inch wheels.

Jim… can you send more information.  Your email below (copied from Larry Dziuba’s post) didn’t show up in my inbox for some reason.  I have 14” slotted aluminum rims that I want to keep.  I’m running a set of recently replaced stock calipers which work as expected (which includes the expected brake fade under heavy braking). I don’t want to cut, chop, weld and replace wheels.

Thanks / Dan

Dan, if you are interested in a Wilwood setup, I have a couple versions depending on your needs.  These stop incredibly well and will fit under some 14” rims or almost any 15”.  Super clean install- all bolt up.
