I've never heard of safety wire but if you have the stock clip to hold
the rod to the clutch arm,
and you add a return spring to the clutch arm, there isn't much of a way
for it to fall out.
And you will get max stroke and save the throwout bearing.

style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Thanks
for the ideas from all of you. The issue of a longer push
rod (which I have, 4.5 inches) is that you can only go up
against the throw out bearing just so far. Right now I?m
touching the bearing (which I don?t want of course). Today
I received my order from S.S. (new kits for the master and
slave) and it seems to have improved the issue, I?ll try
driving the car tomorrow to see if it?s livable. I let
someone talk me into a RAM clutch, should have gone with a
Centerforce maybe? Rick from S. S. said people have had
good luck with them. I?m now of the feeling if you aren?t
racing, a standard Mustang clutch is more than enough for
the Tiger. The idea of a higher volume (larger dia.) master
also suggested by Rick, is that it will make the peddle
force higher. Another issue is how far can one allow the
slave piston to travel without coming out of the cylinder
(mine does not have the retaining clip like it shoes in the
manual). Mine has a max movement of around 1.350, The
piston could come out another .300 ,but that would have the
front of the piston .300 past the end of the cylinder,
probably not a good thing!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
