Get a remote servo and just plumb it in.
I know that the Rover P6 used one, I'm sure more vehicles did also.

if this is to put a hand operated clutch on the gear leaver you need to use a car type master cylinder and some linkage, a bike leaver and master cylinde does not have enough stroke and does not move enough fluid. Not uncommon mod on club rally minis for a while (great for late left foot breaking into hairpins

).

no its for a normal clucth which is really dam heavy was toying with the idea of fiting a servo to it

There might be something wrong with the clutch then if it's too heavy?

Change the master cylinder for 1 size smaller diameter

Cost of master is about £25

Cost of booster plumbing etc - probably 8 times higher

But check you will still have enough movement on the slave to fully release the clutch

Also check the hoses / pipes it may hves been pinched.

Dependant on what you plan on doing (Drag starts) - to allow quicker release increase the pipe diameter to allow greater flow through it
