Mark,
I "renewed" the clevis and used a new pin. On both the slave
and the master. I'm fairly certain there is no lost motion.
Just a soft pedal. I'll yank the master at the weekend and
have a peek inside.

When I took the clutch slave cylinder off my '67BGT, because it was
leaking (streaming) fluid on the ground, I found that the slace
cylinder pushrod and pin were worn about 1/8" total. This may not seem
like much but may pose a problem.
