Jay---I can think of no reason why you couldn't use a Borg&Beck disk
with the Laycock pressure plate. I'm pretty sure their diameters and
thickness are the same. (Or close enough)
Tim---I sometimes see the black swirl you speak of in my brake MC fluid,
but not in the clutch reservoirs. Never thought it to be more than a
curiosity.
You may have already checked this, but if your SC pushrod extends at
least 1/2 inch, the disengagement off the floor thing is down stream of
the pushrod. (Wrong location when they drilled for the fork pin bolt
center?) Of course if you're not getting the 1/2 inch stroke with the
pedal fully depressed, the problem has to be up stream. The
longer-than-stock MC pushrod may work for you, but shouldn't be
necessary for 'normal' conditions.
