I believe that is correct.

Also correct (about 30% more force), but I'm wondering why you would want to
do that to a TR3.  The original system has plenty of travel unless something
else is wrong.  It's the TR6, with that plastic balloon connecting the slave
& MC (plus other unfortunate changes), that sometimes has trouble with
insufficient travel.
