G'day Paul et al
The travel at the slave cylinder end depends on:
a.. the length of the clutch pedal from pivot point to the pedal pad (there are two lengths - bet you didn't know that)
b.. the height of the pedal off the floor (which is adjustable on cars with dual clutch/brake master cylinders)
c.. the amount of free play at the top of the pedal
d.. the master cylinder bore size
e.. the slave cylinder bore size
f.. the amount of "lost movement" due to wear in bushes, clevis pins etc etc
If you know answers to all the above, you can easily calculate the amount of travel you should get at the slave cylinder pushrod when you push the pedal to the floor.
But no matter what model Sprite or Midget (Rubbernose excepted), and no matter what combination of the above factors you may have, I have never seen more than 1/2" travel at the slave cylinder. Usually more like 3/8".
