Your back on.
My Alpine Parts list shows a brake pedal with 2 holes from Series II
and up. This makes me think your pedal is not correct and has the wrong
shape which would throw all the movement off; but this is just my guess
right now.
Removing the spacer might help but if the pedal is wrong it may not
help. There are too many variables here.
The Master and slave have to be sized correctly to each other, the push rod
needs to be the correct length and the push rod need to attach to the pedal
at a point to give the correct throw. I only include these because I don't
know the history of the parts on your car or if they have been changed
sometime in the past.
I would probably make a simple bracket first to move the push rod at
the pedal towards the Master about 1/2" and see if the results were what I
wanted and expected. I would use a block of wood or plywood to make this
bracket to see if this concept works correctly then if it does make one out
of steel or aluminum.

Subject: [Tigers] Clutch pedal
I was knocked off the mailing list. I'm curious to know if this shows up.

My clutch pedal sets about 1" lower than my brake pedal. The clutch
engagement/disengagement takes place too close to the floor for my liking.
I'm
thinking that if the pedal sat at a higher point the disengagement would
also be at a higher point.
My pedal has only one pedal to rod attaching hole (slightly slotted). I
know some cars have two holes in the pedal and the manual shows 2 holes.
So,
changing holes is not an option. I have a spacer about 1/2" thick between
the MC and the firewall. Does everyone have the same thickness spacer?
If I remove the spacer or substitute with a thinner spacer this seemingly
would move the pedal to a higher position. Would it move the engagement
position of the pedal to a higher position?
Or are there long and short push rods in the MC which would accomplish the
same thing?
I hope my explanation/questions is clear.
Mark
