My clutch pedal is sitting just a small fraction above the brake pedal height, is this correct or should it be sitting alot lower?

Vid of the back of the pedal hitting the bodywork

Is the back meant to rest against the bodywork when fully released? I can't remember what the standard setup is?

Cheers

No the brake pedal should be higher by a fair bit, and I don't think your clutch pedal looks healthy there. The circlip may have come out of place inside the master, you may be only one or two de-clutches away from filling the footwell with brake fluid. Knowing you Kam, that could result in a nervous breakdown. I may buy shares in Autoglym in advance of your cylinder bursting.

Its ok Dan I'm more chilled (no current weather pun intended) nowdays :-

Where is the standard pedal meant to be sitting when relaxed? Half way, three quarter? I've got an aftermarket clutch master which is adjustable underneath (running honda not a-series now) and its a 14mm so alot less than standard mini 16mm or whatever it is

The clevis pin is adjustable on the thread so am I right in thinking if I shorten it it will 'lower' the pedal?
