[Fot] laycock clutch question

[Phil Gott]

Marcel, Brian;
I agree with Marcel’s last email. If the fingers point inward, your clutch disc is too thick, indicating that the disc and Pressure Plate are incompatible.
Best solution is to get a thinner disc or a compatible PP.
Hope this clears up any confusion.

You can made a decision by measuring how much the fingers are moving inward when tightening the bolts : if it is more than 3 mm it is not correct and the feel in the clutch pedal won't be normal eather.

So when the hydraulics is engaged the throw out will press the clutch fingers deflecting inward (invert from when on the bench). Makes me uncomfortable / doesn't seem right.
