I've just finished re-doing my clutch set up.
I've used, with many, many thanks to Mike, the Westfield set up at the engine end. This involves using what I think is a classic mini clutch
slave attached to the engine via two brackets to hold it in the correct place. I then used an R1 rear brake master cylinder fitted with home brew
brackets, an M8 rose joint and hex extender to meet the pedal as the master cylinder. It cost me the grand sum of about £30 to do, but only because
Mike wouldn't accept any money for the westy bits. The parts wouldn't be too hard to make though, they're just bits of plate with
threaded bungs on them to bolt the slave to.
It all went together very nicely and has given me much more pedal feel and due to the nature of the R1 master, it doesn't really need a pedal
stop which saves some bother too.
I can try and take some pics later if you'd like?

Pics would be great as a lot of this is new to me and I would like to try and get most of it right from the start.
Thanks for the info.

I'll pop out to the garage tomorrow and see what I can do.
Once you see the pics, it should help explain how easy/simple it was to sort out. Even with making the brackets, it only took me a few hours to sort
out with a vice and hammer to make/bend the brackets and a drill to knock some holes in it. The engine brackets would be a bit harder to make, but
only because they need to be more accurate to get the slave held right.
