The master cylinder is sized correctly for the throw out bearing (TOB) Tilton does make smaller bore size master cylinders, but the problem then becomes moving enough fluid to operate the TOB. It is a 7/8 bore, and I might be able to go to the 13/16, but again, the math doesn't improve much.

The push rod connects to the pedal via a rod end, so I have some flexibility to move it up a little more. I moved the rod end up a half an inch, which improves pedal ratio, but not enough to make much difference. I need the pedal ratio to be about 6 to 1 and I am about at 3.75 to 1.

I have been trying to figure out a 'Rube Goldberg' way to move the rod and not have to move the MC.

Keep the ideas coming!
