Default Where am I going wrong here: Clutch slave/master sizing ?
Okay, so I have a 12" McLeod Super Street Pro and a 1" bore slave cylinder.

McLeod say 0.5" travel + say 0.12" free play at the operating end. So that's 0.62" movement required inside the bellhousing. My clutch fork ratio is 2:1, so I need 1.24" movement at the slave cylinder end of the fork.

My pedal box will only give 1.25" of master piston rod movement, so it seems I need a 1" bore master cylinder at the master to get the same at the slave. But nobody seemingly recommends that.

So which parts or theory have I got wrong here?
