Default adjusting the mcleod adjustable master and Spec update

Hey guys,

My Spec Stage 4i is in the car and it is awesome! Great pressure, no chatter and grip is great so far (still breaking it in gently)

I have a question. My clutch pedal is a little high before it grabs. I want to decrease the amount of clutch pedal travel before the car starts moving.

What way do I adjust the master to do this? I did this last year but cant remember. It is a pain getting at it with the rollbar etc in the car and I'd like to do it only once

Anyone have any suggestions? i'd like to lower the travel about 3/4's of a inch tops.

I'm pretty sure it's lefty loosey, righty tighty. So you would turn it to the right to get less travel, which in turn makes the rod shorter. Is that what you're asking?
