The 68 and later B's with the dual circuit braking system require more
pedal effort thanthe earlier ones with a single circuit. My 67 BGT
requires much less pedal effort than my 72 B. Both have well
maintained braking systems. Also, I have drivien my Dad's TD a lot,
and it requires even less pedal effort. I think I heard than the disk
brakes require more pedal effort than four wheel drums of the TD.
