There was a guy who had modded 2 westys to use a hand clutch since he had lost the use of his legs.
Was in a magazine sometime ago, have had a search but cant find it.
I hope thats of some help although it may not be!

Presumably if its a bike enginned car its easier to use a hand clutch!!! You can just use the original equipment. Then you're guaranteed to have
no MC/SC ratio problems...

I have seen a couple of hand clutch installs. I think the main problem comes when trying to pull out of a junction (turning left or right) when you
need two hands on the wheel plus one on the clutch.

What do you call a man who can have both hands on the steering wheel and still operate a hand-operated clutch...
A clever dick

I have seem a hand opperated clutch fitted to a BEC. Bit dificult to discribe but here goes. The clutch opperating lever was a unit similar to a very
large paddle gear change, which was on the right hand side of the wheel, and turned with the wheel. The gears were opperated by a pull/push lever on
the left of the wheel, but fixed to the column, so didnt turn with the wheel. The guy was disabled that owned it, and said once you had got used to
it, it worked great. HTH Ray
