[TR] Clutch Return Spring and Pedal Position

[Rochlin Robert]

	I've pulled the old TR6 out of hibernation tuned it and adjusted the valve for the upcoming season. The car is running great. 
	 I'm now  attempting to install the clutch return spring on the TR6.  I haven't had a return spring in place since I acquired  the car over 30 years ago, but I had the spring and decided to install it. The issue is that without the spring the clutch pedal is at the proper orientation to the brake pedal but when I install the spring the clutch pedal pulls  toward the driver and is much higher than should be and also pulls the clutch actuating rod out of the clutch master cylinder. It almost seems as if there is some kind of stop missing. What is supposed to keep the clutch pedal from hyperextending toward the driver with the return spring in place? 
	As I said, I haven't had the spring in place since I got the car and can continue to live without it, but I'd like to install it if it will contribute to having a bit more footwell room.
	Thanks.
	Best,
	Bob
