Default 411 sticking back brakes

I recently had a similar problem with my 411 mk 2. The back brakes would lock on intermittently . Believing the problem was the calipers I removed them and had them reconditioned. New pad for brakes and hand brake , all should be well. No such luck no change so I looked at the master cylinder. Great difficulty in getting a repair kit but eventually tracked one down in Scotland but it had missing seals which i sourced in Melbourne Australia. The sticking brake problem was gone but other problems lead me to discard the original cylinder and update to a mk 3 unit ( From early Range Rover). Some modifications needed but the brakes are now perfect.
