Default Braking probs again seizure!!!!

hello guys, probs with my brakes again. they seized a few weeks ago and i got the callipers replaced. the same happened after and i was told the gearbox was shagged so ive put an xr3i one in to tide me over till ive got money for a bernie box. Tonight they jammed on again and i had to wait about 30 mins for them to cool down.
Ive taken the abs out and put a 23 master cylinder in and had braided lines put in and it has got the modulator on the front wing from the 1.6 sport as well
Does anyone have any ideas as to what it is??

Anyone, safechav. Ive got to get new discs and pads as they are warped from them coming on full. Should I replace the servo and vacuum pipe. when i pump the brakes(ignition off so it goes hard) and then turn the car on, the pedal goes down a bit but not alot. Could this be why, or could it be a dodgy master cylinder. Any help is appreciated thanks

wind the adjuster bolt in on the servo behind the master cylinder as it is what is holding the brakes on slightly and as the brake fluid heats up it then jams the brakes on full.

Do you need to unbolt the adjuster from the bit by the bulkhead to twist it. also what is the bolt at the bottom of my 23mm master cylinder for ????
