I broke the nose off my clutch lever and decided to fix it in a way that’s adjustable. Let me know what you think!

Clever.

Though I think the hydraulic slave cylinder auto adjusts.

And there have been issues with piston length distance variations so this may also be a good solution for that scenario.

Looking forward to hearing how it holds up.

Nice work!

If you are doing this because you clutch pedal has too much travel, you probably have a worn clutch pedal clevis pin. That is the fix you need. I like your idea but i think it is a temporary fix.
