No problem at all Bruce! I'm glad you try to help me as I can use some help with this problem.
I think I also explained the changes I made to the pedal assembly the wrong way.

When I tried the different master and slave cylinders I still had the shorter pedal. This winter I decided to remove the hydraulic cylinders in favour of a relocated pedal assembly with longer clutch pedal and a clutch cable. I hoped to get enough leverage from the longer pedal so it would work better with the cable than it did with the hydraulic cylinders before (I also had some leakage problems and got sick of the hydraulic stuff).
In fact clutch effort decreased with the longer pedal and the cable, but it's still so much it bends the pedal.

My thoughts were as follows:
1. installing a longer clutch fork (or modify the old one) to get additional leverage and keep the cable in place. Anyway I don't know if this will be enough.

2. re-install the 3/4" master and the7/8" slave cylinder with the longer pedal, and maybe weld a piece of steel to the outer end of the clutch fork to move the point outwards where the slave cylinder rod pushes on the clutch fork. With the big slave cylinder and the additional leverage of the modified clutch fork I hope to get the result I want.

As far as the phone call is concerned I'm sorry but I'm located in the south of Germany near Munich, and a call to the USA would be pretty expensive. Anyway thanks a lot!! I really appreciate your help!

Simon
