        I've pulled the old TR6 out of hibernation tuned it and adjusted the 
valve for the upcoming season. The car is running great. 
         I'm now  attempting to install the clutch return spring on the TR6.  I 
haven't had a return spring in place since I acquired  the car over 30 years 
ago, but I had the spring and decided to install it. The issue is that without 
the spring the clutch pedal is at the proper orientation to the brake pedal but 
when I install the spring the clutch pedal pulls  toward the driver and is much 
higher than should be and also pulls the clutch actuating rod out of the clutch 
master cylinder. It almost seems as if there is some kind of stop missing. What 
is supposed to keep the clutch pedal from hyperextending toward the driver with 
the return spring in place? 
        As I said, I haven't had the spring in place since I got the car and 
can continue to live without it, but I'd like to install it if it will 
contribute to having a bit more footwell room.
        Thanks.
        Best,
        Bob
        '72 TR6.
