I'm aware by changing the slave to a larger bore it will lower the pedal presure .

Can It be improved even further by changing the clutch master cylinder with somthing of different design ?

If you do nothing else then you are guaranteed by basic engineering principles that either the stroke of the slave cylinder piston will reduce (potentially no longer disengaging the clutch) for a given pedal movement. To make a larger bore slave cylinder piston move the same linear distance to impart the same movement on the clutch fork, you will unquestionably have to displace more hydraulic fluid via the master cylinder, either from a longer stroke or a bigger bore (which in turn will require more force on the pedal to displace it).
I dont need a physics lesson just a bit of advice .

Would the flywheel knock the balance of the engine out ?

Peter I have a very heavy duty AP clutch which purchased new from a chap who was going to put it in a race car

I can't seem to find the part numbers ,but it it is more heavy duty than the AP clutch Power sells .
Its took loads of abuse ,and still work perfectly .

I had to stop in a traffic jam ,my leg gave in .

Which flywheel and weight ?

I would imagine that your flywheel would need to be re-drilled to suit the McLoed Pressure Plate. It would also be worth having the flywheel refaced/skimmed at the same time.
It's the TVR lighter flywheel .

If the original flywheel is reused ,does it have to be fitted in exactly the same place ?

Are you saying the flywheel doesnt get drilled ?

The holes drilled must have to be perfect .

It would be a total disater if they were drilled slightly out .
