[Healeys] slave cylinder extension product testimonial

I'll add my testimonial to Jerry's endorsement:

During our return through Colorado on the way home from Conclave in San
Diego, my traveling companion said his clutch wasn't working well at the
altitude.  We figured he had air in the lines, so stopped at a NAPA store
for some silicone fluid and tubing.  With Mr. Finespanner's extension on
George's slave cylinder, it was a simple 5-minute job to bleed the clutch
and then all was well -- no crawling under the car to try to access the
slave cylinder, no tedious pumping of the brake pedal.

Note:  I cannot install the extension in my BJ8 because I have the earlier
style spin-on oil filter adapter that holds the filter in the same
orientation as the original canister.  This interferes with the extension.

while installing a rebuilt 3000 sideshift trany, i installed doug reid's (
mr.finespanner ) slave cylinder extension.  upon comletion, and having the
carpet and seats installed, i discovered i couldn't pump up the clutch.
rebuilt the master cylinder and bleeding the clutch was a breeze with the
extension in place.
if you have occasion to have the trany cover removed, consider installing
doug's extension.  great labor saver.  no financial interest.  just a highly
satisfied customer.
