Here's what I tried...

I adjusted the fingers by measuring the clearance on the end of the finger I could get to. In other words the opposite end of the finger from the throwout bearing contact point.

I measured each one and picked a happy medium and adjusted the rest to it.
I used a nut, welded a thin rod to it and used the nut as a "feeler" gauge.

I did help some, and it seems to be getting a little better... I had a fair amount of clutch chatter. I know its not the preferred way, but like you, I couldn't see any way to measure the finger at the throwout bearing accurately.
