Clutch rod freeplay - how much?

[Flatback72.]

Replaced my z-bar today (302/3spd toploader) - is somebody able to tell me how much loose freeplay (before the retaining spring is installed) there should be be between the end of the adjustable clutch rod and where it locates in the dimple of the clutch fork? Thanks.

Factory spec is .194", measured between the adjuster nut and the swivel.

Cool, thanks for the quick reply! I had searched the forum and also googled but had no success.

That's an amusing spec, .194"!! Why not 0.2" It would be hard to accurately measure that anyway for the average "mechanic".
I have mine set to maybe 1/16" as my Centerforce II clutch needs all the travel it can get.
