too wimpy to push thier clutch pedals, so need it really soft
Having my Westfield converted from x-flow to R1.
Had a go in a 919 blade recently and it felt like the clutch and accelerator peddle werent connected.
They had no feel, impossible to find a clutch bite point and no resistance on the throttle pedal.
Is this normal?
Do i just put a stiffer spring on the pedals?
Am i being a girl and i'll get used to it?
just more proof BEC boys are pansies

So says the boy building a car with a roof and windscreen....... cos he doesnt want to get wet or ruin his hair.......
you got me there!

Why not sort the clutch out instead of the stop method?
What you need to do is work out the working range of the clutch lever. You should remove any freeplay from your measurements as this is there to help
your hand gain leverage as you start to pull the clutch lever in.
Once you know the arc that it travels, you will need a matched master cylinder to clutch slave. I used a wilwood pull slave and a 0.75 wilwood
master.
Checking the spec of the slave it pulls at 34.5mm on full travel.
I worked it out that I had to extend the clutch lever on the engine so that the slave would reach it's maximum at the same point as the actual
clutch. This ensures that no possible over compression of the clutch.
Now I have a long pedal (yes it is softer than a normal car) but it is more controllable and I can feel the biting point instead of the on/off switch
some of you have!
