If you're looking for a dogleg lever in order to lighten the clutch action then the shorter Spanish ones won't work in my experience. The MB Yam based ones lighten the clutch action but the downside is havinbg to suffer some clutch drag. You wouldn't want ANY play in the pivot pin though.

I fitted the mb yam ones to mine & just about to fit them to
my mates but as said before need a bit of fettling but if you can put up
them being a bit longer i found they work a treat & reasonably priced
Cheers Dom

MB now do their own version which fits without fettling, and work a treat :D

I've just bought a lammy with a ts1 motor. I noticed it had loads of free play at the clutch lever, i adjusted it out and then found the lever was too far away for me to get a decent pull on it. Not sure what the clutch set up is in the motor but its pretty stiff. I was wanting to fit a dog leg lever to enable me to get more than just my finger ends onto the lever and hopefully have an easier time using the clutch. There doesn't appear to be any clutch drag.

I didn't have much luck with the mb yammy one due to my poor fettling skills, spent ages messing with one i bought a couple of years ago but just made a mess of it. Lets just say mine looked nothing like the pic Ricspeed has posted when i'd finished with it!

If you want a shorter one that doesn't protrude past the end of the grip try this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/180568581773? ... 84.m1423.l

If your having problems pulling a heavy clutch, try a friction free cable and serveta dog legs...worked for me.
