Hi Theo!
Interesting.  Steve Wickland has the McLeod in his Tiger.  He has been 
complaining about it for some time, I forget but I think his is causing
the clutch to slip.  Tom Hall recommended to use hard line and fittings 
because the McLeod swivel ones leak (IIRC).

                              my friend has a highly modified Mazda with

                              annular TO bearing and it works very well
                              with the stock master cylinder. I would be
                              very interested in why TH doesn’t like

For sure, there's been some trial and error in getting the hydraulic TO bea=
ring set up right over the last 20 years or so. But, once dialed in, I beli=
eve it is a much better solution. I've never liked the slave/lever arm thro=
w out deal, although it works much better with a diaphragm clutch than the =
old three finger long style.

    Thanks Mike,
 Ok, yeah he was recommending the McCleod with his mod to the fittings...
 Paul Reisentz also told me that McCLeod themselves did not recommend their=

Well, I did some measuring today (by the way the new clutch and cylinder ki=
ts didn=E2=80=99t solve my problem) and thought I would pass on info for an=
ybody that is interested.
=20
The actual amount of movement of the slave cylinder with a full to the floo=
r movement of the clutch peddle is .745=E2=80=9D.=C2=A0 The measure of the =
piston movement from the very back to when the piston comes to the very fro=
nt of the cylinder (not protruding) is like I mentioned before is 1.35=E2=
=80=9D, so that leaves approximately .605=E2=80=9D more potential movement =
to apply to the clutch arm.=C2=A0 I=E2=80=99m hoping the .700 Girling maste=
r cylinder I just ordered will take up just that amount. I can only hope.=
=C2=A0 HA!=C2=A0 If not I=E2=80=99ll pull the engine and tranny again and g=
et a CF clutch.=C2=A0 As for a annular TO bearing, my friend has a highly m=
odified Mazda with a 331 Ford engine for road racing with a annular TO bear=
ing and it works very well with the stock master cylinder. I would be very =
interested in why TH doesn=E2=80=99t like them anymore.

easuring
                              today (by the way the new clutch and
                              cylinder kits didn=E2=80=99t solve my problem=
) and
                              thought I would pass on info for anybody
                              that is interested.</span></p>

of
                              movement of the slave cylinder with a full
                              to the floor movement of the clutch peddle
                              is .745=E2=80=9D.&nbsp; The measure of the pi=
ston
                              movement from the very back to when the
                              piston comes to the very front of the
                              cylinder (not protruding) is like I
                              mentioned before is 1.35=E2=80=9D, so that le=
aves
                              approximately .605=E2=80=9D more potential
                              movement to apply to the clutch arm.&nbsp; I=

                              hoping the .700 Girling master cylinder I
                              just ordered will take up just that
                              amount. I can only hope.&nbsp; HA!&nbsp; If n=
ot I=E2=80=99ll
                              pull the engine and tranny again and get a
                              CF clutch.&nbsp; As for a annular TO bearing,
                              my friend has a highly modified Mazda with
                              a 331 Ford engine for road racing with a
                              annular TO bearing and it works very well
                              with the stock master cylinder. I would be
                              very interested in why TH doesn=E2=80=99t lik=
