[V8Vairs] Hydraulic Clutch Question

You can save the cost of a new master cylinder by lengthening the length of 
the lever arm that operates the  clutch master cylinder, same effect as 
installing a smaller diameter  master.

Doug - Wouldn't shortening the lever arm on the output side of the  system 
increase the amount of pressure needed? To lessen the effort at the  pedal, 
wouldn't you lengthen the arm at the slave? - Not sure, asking for  clarification.

I have  a hydraulic clutch on my Kelmark and the pedal effort is a little
much. I  use a .750 Wilwood clutch master cylinder and a Howe hydraulic throw
out  bearing.

Would going to a .625 clutch master make a significant  difference in pedal
effort? I believe that I have more than enough stroke  to compensate for the
smaller  diameter.
