Wow, only 1/4"? Which clutch are you using? It seems crazy that Mcleod recommended a 1/2" spacer for J17GT when they only need a 1/4" of travel.I'd bet you have more throw than you need, looks like 3/8"-1/2" of travel. Dual disc clutches tend to require less travel than stock, so with the OE release bearing and OE clutch MC you should have plenty.
I don't recall exactly what the OE throw distance is, but I went with a Tilton HRB because after taking a bunch of measurements I determined the OE unit would make the clutch fingers come REALLY close to touching the outer disc hub. It only takes around 1/4" of throw to disengage my clutch.
When you say the OE bearing in your measurements, are you referring to the OE S550 or the OE GT500 that is used for this particular swap? I would think that if Mcleod says the GT500 guys can use an OE bearing, then they must have designed the clutch for a little more travel. The GT500 bearing is shorter than the S550 bearing for the MT82.
