I'd be inclined to give an expert a call, such as Nigel Moseley 01952 503992, jolly helpful or Barney at Munich Legends maybe. I'msure they've both seen it all before!

Try checking that the top of the clutch pedal has not broken, happened to mine about 4 years ago so a bit sketchy but symptoms sound the same. snapped bracket allows the master cylinder arm to slide slightly through the pedal before starting to push piston. 

worth a try
