Hey Mark I just meant that I have been told I am full of little bits of knowledge on a lot of different things. Not meant as anything else. The clutch sound you are talking about does sound like a bad throwout bearing. If you are just barely touching the clutch pedal and the sound stops with no real pressure on the pressure plate that is a sigh of a bearing starting to fail. They get a bit loose inside from lack of lube and start to rattle and squeak, load it a bit and it takes up the slack and stops making noise. The bearing will fail in this way if the free-play is not set up correctly or the driver rides the clutch.
I always have time to help out my fellow Cobra owners. No big deal. Hey I need to do something with 20+ years of working on cars and learning something's the hard way! I figure why let others make the same mistakes?
