R1 hydraulic clutch, my solution
nitram38 - 15/9/07 at 10:52 AM

Just thought I would post my clutch lever design. It might help someone!
It uses a wilwood master and a wilwood "pull" slave cylinders.
Because the maximum throw on the pull cylinder is 35mm, I modified the length of the clutch lever so that I can get full pedal travel instead of using a stop.
The lever length from hole centre to hole centre is 67mm.
This ensures that once the freeplay is removed from the clutch lever that the clutch slave cannot pull the clutch beyond it's natural stop position.
The original part of the lever is left in place so that the return spring is still used.

Modified lever:

I looked at the pictures before reading the words and panicked as I'll have a similar setup on my new engine - I skipped over the bit that said 'pull'!!

Nice one Martin!
