Thanks for that, defiantly going remote now. I have noticed that you clutch and slave is connected with copper, is that ok as I was going to go flexi?

Yes no problems with the clutch side although I left a coil in the pipe to give a little spring the movement at the bottom of the engine box is negligible

Sounds like a plan to me.

Hi. If you check out my video you can see how I did my brake & clutch, both systems working fine, brake switch is hydraulic with no lag. Hope it helps.

Thanks for that, I see you've used copper for the clutch as well. Also liked the 'dropped' accelerator cable bracket, that will be seen on mine, that's on hell of a finish on the rockers and inlet. Nice video.

Thanks, the throttle cable holder on the engine has since been replaced by a smaller diameter version to reduce throttle pedal travel
