I am not sure that the pedal is truly hard.  I gave up trying to bled and
turned it over to a professional garage and they said it had a hard pedal.
In review. I have had the servos and M/C rebuilt and now I am attempting to
have the brakes bled and brought to an operational standard, as a daily
driver.
Thanks!
