OK boys heres some questions on jeep brakes. a 1957 Hotchkiss M201 to be precise.
Brakes pulled hard right so jacked up and found NSF binding and OSF not really working.
So, adjusted all brakes as per manual. on top adjusters i.e. adjust till binding on drum and back off a little.
Shoes and cylinders inspected 500 miles ago, all OK.
Bled all 4 brake cylinders, just in case, just 2 tiny bubbles observed.
Now brakes in a straight line but not good braking. On first push pedal goes well down and a seccond push gives a better, but not great pedal, at no point do they lock the wheels.

Brake fluid looks a little cloudy.
All ideas and advice appreciated.
Thanks
