UPDATE #2:

My eccentric bushing for the master cylinder pushrod seems to have worked just fine. Gave me much more throw. But not quite enough still. I realized my short, white-headed pushrod was not gonna do it. No long pushrods available at USA Benz dealers! So I went back to the fabricating and welded in 7mm to my short pushrod. That seems to be the correct difference.

Ok, clutch WORKS!

but the car drives like crap. serious, serious crap. I think that this must be due to my having removed all the vacuum lines from the injection pump (not the shut-off valve. i'm not THAT dumb.). so...i'm going to put that silly automatic vacuum set-up back on and see if that doesn't fix it.

Stay tuned.
