Hi Graham,
One thing I would worry about is breaking the bellhousing where the
slave bracket mounts. It broke on my 4A because a DPO left off the
support rod. But if you are putting undo force there, I would imagine
the same thing could happen.
It shouldn't be too expensive of a fix, in fact I have an extra cross
rod, fork and bolt that I could send you (they are from a 4A, but I
think they are the same parts for a 6). You can do the fix in a day,
especially if you get the interior stripped beforehand.
