Clutch over center spring

Ok, ok guys . I stand corrected. They were in fact spacer washers used to install spring, 8 in all. I should know better at my age to think that I understand what I think I see. ( getting under the dash isn't easy any more, thinking isn't much better.) clutch pedal still lacks 1 inch of full return , without toe lift. Is this ok?
Also emergency brake light doesn't work. Checked switch , it's ok. Some one has wired in a resistor/ diode? ( I don't understand these things.) to black wire from wiring harness, which then leads to the emergency brake switch and also back to a tan wire which goes where I do knot know. Any help here would be appreciated. At times I feel like a complete idiot.
