BEC Clutch pedal resistance
Ive just got my clutch pedal hooked upto the engine.... i knew it would be quite easy to press because it is designed to be used with a little hand
lever on a bike.... but i didnt think it would be as soft as it is you can hardly feel its there when you press it 
What have people done to make the clutch pedal a bit harder? i was thinking about making up a bracket, and fitting a heavy duty spring to the clutch
lever arm, and the bracket to give more resistance?

Uprate your clutch springs. Worked a treat on mine.

some people use tension springs with a number of holes to provide adjustment others change the point where the cable mounts to change the leverage the
clutch pedle is able to give
hd springs are a good idea and depending on the engine possibly a slipper clutch

i thought that doing that just increased the clamping pressure, but didnt make much difference to the clutch feel? because you cant make it too stiff
since it is designed for a hand lever?

There is a chance that if it is that light and you've already put in the proper springs that you have the pivot point very close to the clutch
cable attached to the pedal itself.
If I were you, I would leave it like that for now, because you may find that although it is very light, when you are out on the road, it may give you
a greater range of motion and therefore more "feel" for the clutch bite itself.
Of course that may not be the case, but don't be in a rush to change it...
