Pressure plate adjustment

[Jim M]

Getting ready to start putting my 29 Roadster back together. The engine is in the car and the flywheel is still attached. It is in great shape and I am going to replace the throw out bearing before starting to assemble the clutch. I have a new pressure plate and would like to adjust it on the bench before assembly. All the instructions I have come across detail the adjustment with the pressure plate installed on the clutch. Seems like it would be easier and more accurate to adjust it on the bench but I don't know if that is possible and if so what the adjustment measurement would be. I was thinking the 11/16 would be fine but not sure if that would be the same without it mounted and the clutch disc installed. Any advice? Thanks, Jim
