Ey, I'm monkeycats from the Netherlands, I drive a 1995 turbo diesel 4wd mitsubishi l300 campervan.
Putted a more classic front on, kept the new headlights, did alot of fixing.
Now I've a mysterious problem with my rightrearbreak, hope someone has a suggestion what I can do or has an idea what the problem is.

rearrightbreak, breakes 50% less compared to the rearleftbreak:
I
-sprayed the tubes with air.
-putted a new breakcylinder in.
-switched the break drum with the one on the left.
-switched the disc with the one on the left..
-made every part free.
-vented the system after every step/try
-adjusted the handbrake.

and guess what, it made no difference at all,
the local mitsubishi garage had no clue.
nice to be here, thanks great pics!, gonna give the van a makeover after I fixed this problem.

Welcome to Delica Canada, Monkeycats :M

Be sure to look through L300 technical for brake related topics which might be useful and also try the search engine (not the greatest but still works to some degree).

Check for kinks in the steel brake line running from the tee on the axle to the caliper. If there is a kink or partial blockage inside, less fluid will get through.

Check the tee for partial blockage as well.
