looks good. i suppose the movement of the cable will be better.
depressing the clutch now, is like pulling a rope over your shoulder. this way there will be less force on the pedal.

Looks like a good idea. I'd be tempted to try one.

I've always wanted to do something like that. The method he chose of securing the stock cable to the arm looks a bit janky to me, I'd like to see a heim joint on the end of the cable. But then you would need a custom cable as well. But it would be worth it. That, along with a long clutch arm should give you a much better clutch feel, even with a heavy pressure plate.

Now that looks nice. And is priced accordingly...

The CMA system looks nice but I'm not sure I'd want to be tied to a single supplier for a cable.

The second one looks quit ok. I´m planing on running the Kennedy stage 2 in my oval, and was thinking of using one of those hydraulic clutches made by cnc. Anybody some experience?

Two cables will out last you ;)
