Assuming you are talking about the Reliant box and the pedal is toward the front of the frame, or at least in front of the gearbox,and you are swapping sides, then it stays a pull action.

It was one off those moments this morning im off for 7 days now and want to crack on with the trike so thought id start on the foot controls but could not think which way the rod went to operate the clutch steve  I do like your trike but you need to paint you control arm steve you can see rust on it  |

Same set-up I used on my last trike, (I understand it's new owner visited you for a chat the other day Newbie, so you can go & have a look at his/mine & compare notes). The hydraulic slave cylinder gives a nice smooth action to the pedal with very little effort needed -I used to find the Reliant clutch got a bit heavy when sat in slow moving traffic.

Yeah, the notchiness is the sprung "fingers" in the middle of the clutch popping in & out. My pedals were quite short & I found it hard work to hold the clutch down while pootling through slow traffic. The hydraulic set-up cured that.
I had pedals up front, with long pushrods going back to the master cylinders. If I'd kept the trike, I would've done what I'd originally planned to do & move the cylinders up to the pedals, then run the hydraulic hoses inside the frame tubes to make everything tidier.

How do you measure them? They stopped it with no problems at all.

well im using 3/4 masters for linked brakes and the clutch, then for the slave im looking at rover 600 or classic mini as they look good and the mounting holes are on the side oppose to land rover etc the mount from the front like the masters do, but they all work the same dave depends where your mounting it from, some mount them on the frame but im looking at mounting off the gear box/bell housing
