[Fot] TR6 Race Clutch Release Bearing - Hydraulic or Standard wSlave Cylinder?

[Charly]

Mark, I have always run the 'stock' style T.O. bearing.  I've run several different clutches, from Laycock to Tilton, and have always had good luck with it.
I've known several TR racers who have used the 'hydraulic' type  mechanism and have always had problems at the track and have been difficult if not impossible to fix.
My vote is the stock linkage and a Tilton clutch, 
BTW, car is still for sale.
