    Well more thought on this subject tonight and I have a good idea to present.

    Take a motorcycle clutch master cylinder. Doesnt even need to be a big one... and run a remote brake booster in the trunk. Vacuum assisted clutch yes?

    Any thoughts?

    EDIT: Seems that brake boosters do not multiply force therefore, this idea would not make the the motorcycle m/c stronger. Reading now how to boost hydraulic force..

      Brake MC's work exactly the same as a clutch MC on a motorcycle, but they are larger. If you figure out what diameter MC piston you need to drive the slave, you might be able to find something close. A lot of older motorcycles use 3 brake calipers, which requires the movement of a fair amount of fluid with quite a bit of mechanical advantage because there is no brake assist....

                I read this article, and the way it was worded was sort of weird

                    U said u wanted the accelerator on the left correct? Most UK cars have the steering wheel and what not on the right since their roads are reversed compared to ours.

                      I thought they were? The one I saw was.

                              Vtec has the best idea. If homeboy is actually capable of producing it, you should send him the $400.
