I have had time today to have another go, I bled the master cylinder as per the instructions from the MGF Register and all is back to normal, we have greater clutch disengagement and you can feel the resistance on the clutch pedal for more of its travel. I have also had a ruler up against the slave cylinder and measured the travel of the pushrod, due to cables and hoses being in the way it is not easy to get an accurate measurement but after several tries the pushrod extends by about 25mm, however the bracket moves in the wrong direction by 5mm!. 20% of the travel is lost and it's the most important 20% that would give greater clutch plate separation and raise the bite point further off the floor. I will have a look at the potential for a support bracket when I have time.
