[Tigers] Clutch issue

[Michael Wood]

Gary, the McLeod in "Blue" (Tom's med blue car) is still going strong after 25 years, so I'm not sure why he bailed. I think it is mostly because he's had no complaints about the Tilton and likes doing the conversion using their 7/8" master.

 Thanks Mike,
 Ok, yeah he was recommending the McCleod with his mod to the fittings...
 Paul Reisentz also told me that McCLeod themselves did not recommend their part for use in Tigers!
 
 Tilton..  or are there any more details on your Australian job?

 I just talked to Tom. He's still using and recommending use of a hydraulic/annular TO bearing. But, he won't use the McLeod piece, only Tilton, these days.

Well, I did some measuring today (by the way the new clutch and cylinder kits didn’t solve my problem) and thought I would pass on info for anybody that is interested.
 
The actual amount of movement of the slave cylinder with a full to the floor movement of the clutch peddle is .745”.  The measure of the piston movement from the very back to when the piston comes to the very front of the cylinder (not protruding) is like I mentioned before is 1.35”, so that leaves approximately .605” more potential movement to apply to the clutch arm.  I’m hoping the .700 Girling master cylinder I just ordered will take up just that amount. I can only hope.  HA!  If not I’ll pull the engine and tranny again and get a CF clutch.  As for a annular TO bearing, my friend has a highly modified Mazda with a 331 Ford engine for road racing with a annular TO bearing and it works very well with the stock master cylinder. I would be very interested in why TH doesn’t like them anymore.
