Pedal configuration, master cylinder size, and the slave all need to work in harmony. If not, then you end up blowing your slave, or not fully engaging/disengaging the clutch. Here's a shot of my hydraulic setup; I'll give you part numbers if you're interested.

I think my master cylinders are Willwood (if that's what Kirkham fit as standard). However, I would be interested to know what your slave cylinder is.
Thanks.
