I was looking at the clutch hydraulics on my Mk1 to ensure the clutch slave is 
producing maximum travel. What I noticed is some lost motion in the clutch 
master cylinder between the pushrod and the piston. It's definitely there and 
not in the clevis/clutch pedal, etc. My first thought is that the master piston 
should return until it bottoms against the dome of the pushrod, which is 
stopped by the bore washer/circlip. Before going any further I thought I'd 
confirm whether or not this "play" of 1/8" or so between the pushrod and piston 
is a fault or not. I'm hoping that it is and correcting it will result in the 
slave producing a touch more travel.

Thanks in advance.Terry
