dougs headers dont clear zbar clutch linkage
If you have a 3 finger pressure plate, you need the over center spring, actually, you need the heavy duty one and the side brace. The spring between the bell and the fork keeps the throwout bearing from riding on the pressure plate fingers. Your clutch pedal doesn't have to come up even with the brake pedal, mine doesn't. The overcenter spring is to help you push the clutch in, not to hold it up. If you had a diaphragm clutch, then they recommend taking it out. If your z-bar is square and parallel, you really shouldn't have a problem, as long as you have enough travel to disengage the clutch and the throwout bearing is off the fingers when out.
