Hallo. Could someone please help me with adjusting the clutch fingers?
What should be the distance between the fingers and the clutch plate?
The original tool for this was like the one in the photo.
Does anyone have a drawing with the dimensions of this tool?

thank you very much for your help

I have a 533 and would advise you to leave it alone unless you see significant wear on the fingers.

The Ford Model A also had a 6-finger pressure plate. -> There, someone is adjusting the fingers with a homemade tool (well, as the comments indicate, he knew the adjustment dimension). Libor, take good care of your (own) fingers!
