[Tigers] Clutch issue

[Gary]

Hi Theo!
Interesting.  Steve Wickland has the McLeod in his Tiger.  He has been 
complaining about it for some time, I forget but I think his is causing
the clutch to slip.  Tom Hall recommended to use hard line and fittings 
because the McLeod swivel ones leak (IIRC).
