<p class="MsoNormal"><b><font size="3" color="black" face="Garamond"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Garamond",serif;color:black;font-weight:bold">Brakes were overhauled by shop recently, and both master vac units were replaced. They also said they
rebuilt the master cylinder boosters.<o:p></o:p></span></font></b></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><b><font size="3" color="black" face="Garamond"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Garamond",serif;color:black;font-weight:bold">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.<o:p></o:p></span></font></b></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><b><font size="3" color="black" face="Garamond"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Garamond",serif;color:black;font-weight:bold">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. <o:p></o:p></span></font></b></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><b><font size="3" color="black" face="Garamond"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Garamond",serif;color:black;font-weight:bold">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.<o:p></o:p></span></font></b></p>
