Hmmm, firstly MGBs have no adjustment to the clutch, and clutch wear is
usually signified by engagement/disengagement near the floor. I suppose you
could introduce some 'wear' by filing the clutch pedal and push-rod holes,
but maybe it was worn before and now is correct so you just need to get used
to it.
Because of the solid axle there should be no change in camber to the rear
wheels under any change in conditions. Oversteer can be caused by
overstiffness at the rear without similarly beefing up the front. Very hard
shocks at the rear with standards at the front might cause this, as does a
beefed-up rear anti-roll bar without similar treatment at the front.

> On the drive home from the shop, I noticed that the clutch release pedal
releases almost totally only at the very top prior to take off. It is quite
uncomfortable since there is very little play to work with. I have just
repaired the clutch master and noticed that adjustment may be made via a rod
by the pedal, should I pursue this and how?

that of an old Volkswagen Beetle. I took a sweeping corner at moderately
quick clip and I felt a bit of oversteer. I have a tube shock conversion at
the rear of the car. Do MGBs look this way while at speed?
