Rustinmotion,

Hi I have a late 1970 121 with direct acting servo and I'm only in Flitwick so you are welcome to have a go in mine for comparison!
As previously mentioned if the booster/servo has been removed from a car that was intended to have one from standard the effort required when pressing the pedal to achieve satisfactory retardation will feel comparatively excessive.

Just as a side note and its not meant as anything other than information, when a car is fitted with ABS this will in no way improve the cars brake efficiency it is merely an additional safety aid and doesn't improve brake performance.

Doug.
