[Healeys] clutch slave cylinder bleeding

[Michael Oritt]

At Smitty's suggestion I mounted my secondary cylinder with only one bolt
with a headless stud taking the place of the second one, to make removal
easier.  I also created a removable door at the very front of the
transmission tunnel to give easier access for bleeding.  All that said
installing an extension bleeder hose would definitely make things easy and
this is something I plan to do the next time I need to access the
cylinder--which I hope is a long time off...
