Thank you kindly,

Hi Andy,
The booster for the clutch is just a brake booster installed in the clutch control rod so it works the same as power brakes.
It is a PBR VH44 which is the normal power assist unit,either twin or single used on the DRB's and standard on many Fords and Holdens here.
The clutch is nice and light to use,the only problem is if you rest your foot on the clutch pedal a bit before operating it the booster builds up vacuum and when you push the pedal it will over travel.I am getting a positve stop fitted to prevent this.
