Didn't get the car back today 
and I didn't even know what parts they are waiting on, one rear wheel was binding, that is what it failed on, and I haven't spoken to the mechanic, only the secretary so something has worn or broken, the only thing I can think of is the springs (they are drum brakes) if one went that would cause the brakes to bind and up to now can't get them.
I just went on ebay and I can get a set from them, so they are available,
hopefully I'll get the car back for the weekend.

I'd say not. Binding brake is a drum brake, one likely cause is a seized wheel cylinder.
Slave cylinder seized by the sound of it.
Discs can bind as well.

They sure can, but our friend NN stated that the binding brake is a drum brake.
Soz - re read your post and I'd interpreted it the wrong way.

Yeh, it'll be the sprocket in the manifold of the overhead kickstart assembly. They're known for that (sucks through teeth).
