Default 411 brake problems

I am having trouble with my brakes. I have reconditioned the calipers and checked or replaced the flexible lines. Every so often the brakes lock on and wont release . The only way I can get the car to move is to release the pressure in the lines by loosening the brake lines at the master cylinder. I suspect this will be a Master Cylinder problem.

Question 1 has any one experienced the same thing.

Question 2 Does any one know the availability of a replacement cylinder ( I believe Mk 1 & Mk 2 are different to later cars)

I also need inner and outer tie rod ends

Regards Peter Dowdle
