They also said they rebuilt the master cylinder boosters.    Brake pedal is very, very hard.  Car will stop, with difficulty, but only if you really lean on that last ¼ inch of travel in the pedal.  The car doesn’t feel as though it even has power assisted brakes.    Mechanic acknowledges that (although he thinks it’s safe enough since the car will eventually stop).  He says the problem was getting parts for the vac and boosters.  He claims he got aftermarket from the UK since OEM wasn’t available, etc., etc.  Something about OEM rebuild kits not being available?  Whatever.       Anybody have any insight into this?  It’s a 1971 2000TC.  I can’t believe any other P6 has brakes like this.  If the proper parts are available I will follow up.    Thanks.    Bob     _______________________________________________
