Hand brake ? Hummm ? Hand pump leaking ? As with any hydraulic system it has to be air in the system or a bad master cylinder ( O-rings) or a bad wheel cylinder (O rings) . A loose fitting may allow air to enter the system ? I would look first at the wheel caliper to see it there is any fluid leaking there . A first for me , never heard of a Thorp with "hand brakes ?" Lee would have the scoup on this ?

Maybe pics of the hand pump system would clear this up ? ??? It might help explain the lack of pressure in the one side ? ;) Low PSI BOOM !
