When you dump the clutch hard the rubber gives enough to drive off of the three metal tangs.
Also, though nobody added it for a reason in the "how do you park your car" thread, it's also a bad idea to let the weight of the car rest on these tangs before setting the parking brake on an incline, especially if the car will sit idle for a while since the rubber is under a constant twist deformity.
There's a certain "feel" that's missing when you replace with spring centered disc so we replaced mine with original rubber style (87 944S). The original had gone over 100,000 miles.
I rather the feel than my dad's turbo (spring centered)

How long did it take YOU Andrew?
Oh, and did Tom's brother sell his car to Scoot?

you have to get in the car upside down with you head in the driver's footwell. the adjustment is at the pedal becuase there's no cable to adjust under the hood. there's a little (i think 13mm) nut on the back of the pedal assembly that has to be turned for the adjustment. see if this pic helps you out:
