[Tigers] Next question....clutch slave cylinder.

[Will Seay]

Duke,

Can you get rid of the 1" spacers and go to a longer rod between slave cyl and
release lever?  An extra 1" added to the rod would make for a lot less of a
misalignment problem.

First of all, thanks for all the team's input on my never ending questions.

Per Gary Crandall's articles in TT on Upgrade from a 5 to 6 old block, I
have decided to go with a different clutch fork.

Take a look the next two pictures and the reason is obvious.

The bracket is much more robust and attachment to the bracket better with
the clip.

The only stickler is the spring that holds the slave cylinder rod ball-thing
attached to the clutch fork (CF).  I modified it by drilling a hole and then
using safety wire to help secure it. The socket on the CF is also much
smaller than the original CF.

I am concerned about the angle of the slave cylinder rod, the original was
the same and the rod was even bent.  Is this a normal angle for this rod.  I
do not see any way to change or move the slave cylinder to correct it.

I am using the CAT Club Mk II slave cylinder bracket.

I also had to use 1" spacers in between the slave cylinder bracket and the
scatter shield to get the correct 1 1/4' distance from the block.

So let me know what your thought are on using this CF because I sure do not
want to have to pull the engne to change back to the original.

TIA!
