Hi Gordon
The clutch pedal spring BN39 goes on the outside of the bell housing. It slides over the clutch pedal spindle and one end sits in a small hole in the bell housing the other around the clutch pedal. It is tensioned such that the clutch pedal is drawn back (and the release bearing is pulled back from the levers). It is a bit of a pain to fit, especially if your doing the job with the engine and box in the car.
If your clutch travel is too close to the floor it indicates a worn clutch. This could either be the linings or the levers or the release bearing housing. Unfortunately all of those are gearbox out jobs.
I made a visit to Sydney many years back and really loved the place. It was at Christmas time and I enjoyed the heat, given I travelled back to a freezing cold Britain!
Cheers
Howard
