Dalton,
I broke my left ankle many years ago and when I was looking at getting a GT40 I soon realised that the "fun factor" would quickly be lost if I was caught in traffic with the heavy clutch and Tilton set up(floor mounted instead of hanging pedal).Looked at a Triptronic but was way to hard to adapt so decided to go for a power assist type set up,it reduces the operating pressure from 25kg to 10kg which gives the clutch a small Japanese car clutch pedal feel.

Bill,
I am looking forward to getting home in Feb,when the car should have the plates on and registered.Then I can sit down with the painter.
This is the only other picture PR has sent me of the clutch vacuum booster set up
