If he can work a pedal but needs lighter load, two possibilities come to mind:

1) switch to a dual disk clutch because they need less pedal effort to achieve the necessary torque capacity. Most of them need a deeper bellhousing but I think the McLeod will fit in a stock bellhousing.

2) I worked on a Ford 1-ton truck many years ago that had an over-center spring arrangement on the clutch pedal. When the pedal was up, the spring was pushing the pedal up. Part way thru the pedal travel, the spring went past center and started assisting in pushing the pedal down. That would take a bunch of fabrication to recreate that, but it's good to put all ideas on the table.

Hope this helps,
Eric
