way to get the SC back in place on the bell housing with the line
attached. A Spitfire or GT6 doesn't have much working space.

You'd be surprised! What you say is definitely possible. Many years ago I
was desperate to track down a weird clutch problem on a friend's Spitfire 4. At
the time, I had my 1200 Herald convertible not currently being used but still
functional. I was able to unbolt the master, slave and connecting pipe from
the Herald without breaking open the line and swap it into the Spitfire.
Didn't even have to rebend the pipe!
I never tried it on a GT6, but I'd think it would almost be easier since the
GT's slave cylinder is much more accessible, being near the top of the
gearbox.

Triumph Herald engine with wings.
