OK, but it slipped every once in a while going hard up a hill (turn 5) towards 
the end of a few sessions.

Stock carbon puck /slave cylinder  with a Tilton spacer/guide tube ahead of the 
bearing

There's a welded nut on the footwell firewall; a long bolt with 2 nuts on it 
lines up perfectly with Tilton clutch pedal. We dialed in the throw of the 
pedal by lifting the rear wheels, putting it in gear, and limiting travel after 
the wheels broke free from depressing the pedal. Maybe 3/4" to 1 inch pedal 
throw total!

It took quite a beating this weekend. I think the slipping problem is easily 
solved. The engine bay was absolutely bone dry, so the oil must have been on 
the flywheel instead this time ;-))

Regards,
Ron
