How far down to you guys have to push the pedal to engage the clutch?
I have a Lakewood bell and the Kirkham billet cluth set up. My clutch enages around 1 inch from the floor. When i adjusted the clutch I made sure there was no slop at all in the pedal. Is this normal?

Just getting a chuckle reading yout title. The word to instead of do really messes the whole thing up.

Anyhow, disengaging the clutch I am sure is an inherent problem with all cobras due to pedal length.

NG,
If you are running a hydraulic set up, it could be the incorrect size bore in the master or the slave, air in the lines, incorrect release bearing length. Multitude of things.

Dude you have issues. We all got it. You were obviously one of those kids in school that got kicks from correcting ones grammar.

I have the complete Kirkham setup. I bled the system and there doesn't seem to be any air in the lines. I had the car on the lift ans I had my friend press the clutch while I turned the rear wheel. I could turn it when the clutch was one inch from the floor. I'm assuming it would slip ealier with the power of the motor. However I fgure it should completely disengage with much less pedal travel. I haven't tried to drive it yet. I will be finishing it in 2 weeks. I still have the foam in the wheel wells to do

Venamm, me reveling in someone's missed typing was not to correct him. It just reads so dang funny! What makes it even funnier for me, is that I have done the same more than once. If you read between the lines in my first post, it eludes to my doing the same. At times I just type and click and run. Then I go oh.........
I guess we all have different levels that we laugh at life.
As far as me having issues, I have none! That's what I keep telling the wife, co-workers, boss, neighbors, the police...........
NG, I hope you didn't take anything personal. If so I'm sorry.
I think tcrist is right, it needs to be seen working also.
Another question, how hard is it to push the pedal? Because I would think if you start messin with changing cylinder sizes, the pedal will get a bit harder?
