The whit plastic part is what holds the slave in storage/transportation.
Once fitted the first time the clutch pedal is pressed it snaps

I can't see the pic, but is it a white / creamy coloured piece?
If it is then never worry. It's just to keep the piston back when it's new. First time it's used it breaks.
EDIT: Ach... Beaten to it.

The sheddist kit does allow a small amount of pedal adjustment, two different length clevis pins and a pedal stop included. Well worth getting the kit after changing mine over. You don't realise how fragile the master and slave is until you have one go and remove it.

im not selling!
But if I was everything on the car will be tip top from mechanicals right down to rust proofing and anything else I can do to it.
I sell a car as I'd buy it. These cars as ive said before were never given the proper treatment at the mgrover plant they deserved. With all the " project drive" stuff added, underseal, decent clutch kit and new/recon vis / plenums these cars are fantastic and should last many years , as they ( mk2s) are v rare as we all know its worth spending a few £ to keep them that way
