But, once dialed in, I believe it is a much better solution. I've never liked the slave/lever arm throw out deal, although it works much better with a diaphragm clutch than the old three finger long style.</div><div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:10pt;color:black;"><br><br><br>-----Original Message-----<br>From: Gary <garywinblad@comcast.net><br>To: Theo Smit <tsmit@shaw.ca>; Michael Wood <mwood24020@aol.com><br>Cc: tigers@autox.team.net<br>Sent: Fri, May 28, 2021 8:28 pm<br>Subject: Re: [Tigers] Clutch issue<br><br></div><div id="yiv0105590537"><div>
Hi Theo!<br clear="none">
Interesting. Steve Wickland has the McLeod in his Tiger. He has

causing<br clear="none">
the clutch to slip. Tom Hall recommended to use hard line and

<div style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;color:black;">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. </div>

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.</span></p>
<p class="yiv0105590537MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:'Arial', 'sans-serif';">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.</span></p>
