[V8Vairs] Hydraulic Clutch Question

Put the .625 clutch master on and it has made a very nice improvement. Still
a little heavy but not at all objectionable. I ended up with more travel
than I needed.
Thanks for everyone's input on this. Tim

Thanks everyone for their input. I will order the smaller diameter MC and
let you know how I make out. Tim

A couple points:
 
1.  The travel will be the same on the master, but the the slave travel will
decrease by approx. 36%
2.  The pedal resistance will be noticably lighter
3.  Lengthening the clutch arm will have no real effect on the pedal effort,
though it is a way to make up for the 36% loss in slave travel
