The question (I guess this is for the physics or math people out there): What is the length of the tab (from pivot point to the hole for the push rod hole)I need? I've calculated the lever arm length (2"), but would like somebody else to confirm it to make sure I did it right. The picture will give you an idea of what the length and angles I used:

The 5.75" is the travel distance of the pedal, and the 9.5" is the length of the pedal. I calculated the angle at the pivot point to be 35*. The travel of the clutch master is 1.25".

Did I miss anything?
