Weird brake problem

220D from 1973 (114?)

Howdy,

A friend took my car for the technical check, it failed on a sticking back brake. He's cleaned everything up and backed off the handbrake a little.

Everything fine till........

He tightens the wheel back up, then it starts to stick again.

I haven't seen it yet, but he asked me on the phone if I might have longer bolts on that side for some reason.

My only thought is that it may be a different rim, I bought a tyre from a scrapyard on a BMW rim once.

Any thoughts or comments on this one greatly appreciated.
