[Mgs] MGB clutch slave bleeding issues

[Robert's New iPad]

	When slave is mounted, the bleed screw should be in upper hole; hose in lower. If hose is short, it won’t quite fit and will probably kink if forced to.  If hose is put into upper hole, bleeding will be nearly impossible. 
	If Moss supplied a short hose, can you re-install the one you just removed? It would seem they would owe you the correct hose, a quart of fluid, and free shipping.  
	Desperate times can require desperate measures. It’s not unknown for MGB owners to disconnect the coil wire and to drive into garage on the starter.
