[Healeys] clutch improvements

I Erbs -

David's idea is a good suggestion, but will require some modifications to  
the car.

Another one that will work is, when I had some work done on my BJ8 about 8  
years ago, the mechanic (a very good one, actually) made an honest mistake  
and swapped the brake and clutch masters on my BJ8 (they are different on  
the BJ8). This had the affect of making a VERY hard brake and a VERY soft  
clutch pedal.

So... the first thing you can try is to replace your clutch master cylinder  
with a brake master cylinder from a BJ8 on your car. You may have to  
lengthen the cylinder's pedal rod a bit as the cylinder diameter on the BJ8  
brake master is narrower, meaning you will have to push it a little further  
to get full clearance to shift without grinding gears.

You can try this first, and then try putting on the BJ8 clutch after that.  
Those two things together should make for a very light clutch.
