[Trav]

Papajam, I think you are right.
My fiddleing around led me to believe there just wasn't enough fluid between the MC and slave. My solution was to hold the pedal down and wedge the clutch fork out, then "re-****" the pedal. This did increase the throw of the slave but when the pedal was released the extra fluid pressure seemed to be lost when the pedal reached the top of the stroke. (a hydrolic squirting sound from the MC).
This made me suspect the piston in the MC was moving too far or not far enough. By adjusting the rod in and out I have managed to get what seems like normal travel.
To further complicate things it seems like the clutch disc is sticking.
This car is a challange because I have not been able to drive it much. It has been stored for ten or more years. All new hoses.....
I'm hoping that driving will sort out a lot of the problems.

It does have a clean rut free body with new paint and interior!
Thanks for the advice! TD
