I can shift !
Ok, After removing the "RETURN" stop on my clutch pedal ( allowing pedal pad to be higher and more even with brake pedal pad when released) I was able now adjust the pedal linkage to get 1.1xx" (give or take) stroke on the 3/4" Master Cylinder, which is the advertised maximum stroke. This now moves the HTOB enough to be able to shift gears, finally ! BUT, the disc still drags with clutch pedal to the floor in gear and I am not yet getting 100% clean disc disengagement, which tells me the air gap between disc and pressure plate is not yet @ 0.050". I need to now measure HTOB travel again. Boy I wish I had a lift ! I am now leaning toward getting a 13/16" master so my clutch pedal travel is not so far.
Patrickt- Found the rubber grease you mentioned. Its assembly lube used when rebuilding hydraulic cylinders so you dont scuff the rubber piston seals etc during assembly. Pegasus Racing sells i for $9 /tube. WIll add this to the tool box wiht my next order !
