SERIOUS mates got cancer! need HELP!

right here goes,got a dilemma.last year me mate fought like hell having chemmo and radio therapy to get shut of the cancer.. initially he was told it was a success....but its back and he is now skin an bone and wasting away.his motor is a 2.5 na 110,the poor bugger cannot even drive it because the clutch is now to heavy for him to depress.

so a few questions spring to mind after talking with his missus.

Is it feasible to fit an auto box in it?if so which one and how hard is it to do?

Or is there anything i can do to make the clutch pedal lighter for him?

he loves his motor and its a shame he cannot use it as he used to any help and suggestions will be welcomed

didnt the SD1 have a servo assisted clutch ?

also some mention of one on the Cobra forum

Servo assisted clutch - Cobra Club Forums

No problem fitting a in-line servo in the clutch fluid line, but tricky to get the right servo.

It works nicely - very light pedal.

seems good sean cheers. i,ll have a good look at that later
i seem to recall something being done with a servo but i cannot remember what it was on mate.
heard of it being done on a series motor but cant find anything on it

a Lockhead LE72696 servo inline with the normal clutch hydrolics looks to be the way to do it - so someone who's done it on a Cobra tells me

hows light is light cus to be honest i dont think he could squash a sponge at the mo,

only person i know who's actually done it is on a Cobra, and you'd not learn anything relivant to a LR - apparently it's actualy a very simple install and that the Lucas one give a 1:90 boost

Pirtek or simillar would be helpfull as i'm sure the pipe fittings would be incompatable

time to get the tape measure out and see what can be made to fit,cause his brake servo is bloody huge(ex un motor),might afta source a remote one as i think it needs to be done sooner than later

from memory the lockhead servo is about half the size of the mor eusual LR ones
