919 Blade Clutch Actuation Travel?
Looking from the drivers side, down the inlet trumpets, the clutch "lever" is relaxed at about 7pm.
Where does it have to go to to be fully disengaged?
I can have the pedal adjusted so that the relaxed position is around 9pm, and on full pedal its about 12, but still i can't turn the output
flange by hand (has been standing a while though).
Am I even close at 12 or has it got to go lots further?
Looks like I may have to change the crank throw on the pushrod if it needs to go further.

I'll need to have a look at mine to confirm arm positions.
You won't be able to push the clutch arm round with your fingers on the arm to make the clutch open, it requires quite a bit of force past the
initial slack travel.
The clutch is probably sticking a bit after sitting around. One you start the engine it should free itself.

clutch
its just because the engine isn't running and the disks/plates stick together..
try to test it in topgear 
then i bet you can..
when the engine runs the clutch gets the shower of oil..then it will work fine!
Tks
The above comments are always meant to be from the above persons perspective.

I just adjusted mine and went through the same thing. You're right in that the arm, at rest is around the 9 o' clock position, pointed
toward the prop. At fully disengaged, it points to the 10:30-11 position.
To figure this out, I too put the car in gear and held the clutch pedal down until I could roll it freely. I still have the markings on the case and
can take pictures of it tonight if you'd like...
--HTH, Chris

Thanks guys.
Given I've got quite a bit of adjustment it sounds like it'll be fine once the engine is running.
