Default Uprated clutch question

When running uprated clutches, (alcon 6 paddles, ap racing jobbies) can the standard ford ratchet (behind the peddles) be used or is an uprated one to be used?

Cheers

U CAN sometimes get away with the std one. A much better solution is to use the mk5 pedal and ratchet combo. It isnt self adjusting 0 u do it manually with an allen key, and can set the biting point anywhere u like.
