Installing the throw out bearing stock dauntless clutch & stock bell housing (diaphragm type) AA adaptor & a T15 transmission. The stock throw out bearing is only left with 1/16 " clearance from the clutch fingers to the front of the bearing retainer. I have purchased an adjustable throw out bearing from Novak that when fully collapsed leaves a 1/4" clearance. Is this enough clearance? Can anyone tell me how much clearance is lost due to clutch wear over it's life?

Thanks for any help

So long as the release linkage remains functional then 1/16" clearance between foreward face of release bearing and the clutch fingers is the normal minimum gap.
You stated from clutch cover fingers to bearing reatiner so I question what your saying.
Wear of the driven disk over time is minimal. 
I have no reference to any specified finger position change change due to wear of the disk.
