The relationship between the throwout race movement and pedal movement is 1 to 11.8. We would prefer the race movement not to exceed

.230
------ = .021"
11.8

If you could remove the period and increase the clutch stiffness by 20% we would feel happy.

We shall be writing you on tank clutches shortly,

Yours faithfully,
