I think this is the way to go - it ticks all my boxes:

I show this for the principle rather than as a purchase item as it is rather too expensive. I'm sure that with some fabrication this could be easily made. The advantages as I see it are:
1) All the cylinders are in the car out of the crud.
2) Pull cylinders have a reputation of being smoother.
3) Twin brake cylinders offer great bias adjustment
4) Raising the floor by 50mm gives a much more comfortable pedal action (mine has it and I can't recommend it more highly), unless of course you have clown sized feet!
5) Maintenance is a doddle.
Yesterday I STRUGGLED with putting new flexible pipes on the dual m/c connections on a 1303 super and I really can't see how putting the the clutch m/c there as well do nothing but make matters worse. Siting the clutch m/c next to the brake m/c will also mean that a pipe from the resevoir will have to wind its way from under the tank up into the front luggage compartment - this needs the application of the KISS principle.
