A hydraulic system is not designed for "fre-play" on the Tiger, and the
"adjustment" rod is not supposed to be adjusted. There is no instructions on
adjustment in the manual. You do have a choice of where to put the clevis pun
in the dual-hole clutch pedal arm attaching to the clutch master cylinder. You
want this in a comfortable position. If you find you need to adjust this
connection to allow
sufficient stroke to disengage the clutch, something is wrong. When I replaced
mine, the Lucas/Girling kit came with a "Universal" master cylinder shaft with
an adjustable clevis. This won't fir the Tiger, so I put the old one in and
stretched the new rubber dust cover over the old clevis.
