What servo are you using?
and did you put a "spacer" in the master cylinder?

Pull the master cylinder off and shorten the spacer a little,
there should only be a couple of mm resistance when bolting the cylinder flush with the servo.

Right update running a washer or not running a washer made no difference.. No running without brakes work fine But start binding when driven abt 10 min later, when cooled down its fine and spins free... Could it be master cylinder ?

I have the EXACT same problem! Cars fine until about ten mins of driving. Did you work out the cause?

It will be servo related
