Brake drag

Hi folks,

Recently acquired a 1983 Type 44 200. It seems that once it gets warmed 
up, the brakes start sticking heavily. You can get them to release by 
jabbing at the brake pedal a bit, but they'll soon stick again.

I seem to recall this is a symptom of a bad master cylinder. I also seem 
to recall that the received wisdom is that rebuilding the MC is a false 
economy - is that right? (I'm afraid I'm not gunning for longevity here 
- it needs to last a few months and then the interesting bits will get 
lifted for spares for a quattro).

Thanks for help,

Richard
