A nice stiff one
Discussion
... clutch pedal that is! You can't beat a stiff clutch.
With the new slave in, the travel in the pedal has disappeared at the top, and the leak has gone of course.
Also the power steering has stopped getting heavy occasionally, so I wonder if clutch fluid spatterings have stopped getting onto the drive belt.... I was getting though an entire cylinder of fluid every 20 miles by the end of it ;^)
These are landrover master and slave now, and they work great. Just getting used to the bite point being much higher.

That's the beauty of it - it would actually cost less! £6 for the slave, plus the fittings, a bit of pipe and for my time to flare the ends and to pay for a brake pipe flaring tool (I currently bodge mine with a Torx bit hammered into the end to flare it out - not good enough though for selling to punters - and it's fiddly to do.)
Usually the TVR slaves are £40? plus so the total would be way under that.

I have just been informed by a well known Wedge Connoisseur that clutch master cylinder and slave cylinder are readily available, new, off the shelf for little money. Around £65 for the pair ...
But my pair are £19, less than a third of the price. There still seems to be a "prestige car" markup factor if the part is destined for a TVR....Rule number 1 - earn as much as you can in as little time as possible.
Rule number 2 - pay as little as possible for stuff.
