Not available local, I made up my own, I will try get some pics when I see him again.
Empi make a hydralic cylinder at the box, but you will also need to change the pedal up front with a cylinder, as well a running hydraulics from there to the rear, I looked into costs when my buddy made the request for a lighter clutch, with a complete custom pedal seup (all 3 pedals) and the cylinder in the rear not including lines it was around the R4500 mark, with the pulley setup, it cost less than R200, and took about 1 hour to fit. I have n idea how the custom pedal setup will work on a bus ???

You can also look at extending the arm (where the end of the clutch cable attaches) at the box, will also reduce the force needed on the clutch pedal, check to see what the length of the arm at the box you have ATM, there are like 3 different lengths, you could weld up something cutom to extend by using 2 original items to make 1 longer custom.

Thanks Rui , I do know about the Empi slave but there is no master (empi) that would be compatible with the bus clutch pedal setup, there is a master from Wilwood but again import . My issue is not as much the "stifness" of the pedal as it is more a fear that the cable might not be able to handle the extra stress from the upgrade p/plate. I have just pulled a master and slave from stock for the micro busses and this seems to be a viable option with minor mods the added benefit is that the cylinders are still available locally in the event that there is a failure.I will take some pics of the cylinders and share my thoughts on the fitment.

a thought that I have had which has not gone any further... couldnt you use the stock cable to actuate a remote master cylinder, which then operates the slave cylinder?

Get a stainless steel cable, even a little thicker, as well as beef up the "hook" at the pedal?

If that master you have does not work then get one of these from Clive Wilmot. The formula Vee has three of them in it and one of them operates the EMPI slave cylinder on the clutch...

Don,t forget to remove the collar from the PP otherwise motor is not going to go in. Get the FW & PP balanced again, if there is one thing that is the most out of ballance it's the PP.
