Thanks all for the suggestions on what could be causing the issue with 
the clutch on this race car.

Joe Curry made a suggestion that I file an additional slot is the slave 
cylinder body to gain travel.
I found an old slave cylinder from the former owner and it had a second 
slot filed in it. This
Must be how he resolved the clutch release problem.  Here is a photo of 
the fix.

I now get enough travel and the clutch releases enough to shift gears ( 
on the jack stands anyway )

I'll save the trans R&R for next time.

Thanks again to the Triumph brain trust.
