John :
Just a thought, you may have already done this ... remove the pedal stop
bolt (if fitted) and lengthen the clutch MC pushrod until the lever almost
touches the pedal box (or the clevis starts to come off the pushrod). This
will bring the pedal up 2" or more. If the hole in the end of the lever is
elongated, consider having it brazed in and redrilled.
Also, by keeping the clutch slave adjusted fairly tight, you can keep the
action near the top of the pedal travel. The books disagree on the proper
slave clearance, but .010" will work as long as you check and adjust it at
every chassis lube interval.
If you have the adjustable steering wheel, trade it to someone for the fixed
wheel (along with the control head and stator tube). The minimum adjustment
is closer to the driver than the fixed position.
