How to reduce pedal effort??

Shad, it's easy to reduce pedal effort without a power servo. The factory type 1 pedal geomety is about 5.5-1 ratio. I would guess your type 3 is the same. Lengthen your pedal an inch and hold on to your hat!

I fabricated my own pedals with a 6.4-1 ratio. I need a hydraulic clutch (auto stick car) anyway so I did an entire pedal set. More work than I expected but it turned out decent. I used roller bearings on the pivot shafts with bronze bushings on the ends.
