Since the subject came up, I am wondering about what everyone is doing
when they use the thicker TR6 tranny case on a 4 cylinder car. I can't
remember what I had on my TR4 but on my TR4A I had to go to a TR6 slave
with a shortened pushrod in order to get a throw I could live with. I
made sure to have the cylinder positioned correctly.

Yeah, you gotta pull the tranny cover.
Not sure about Herald, but not a big deal in the Spitfire.
I just replaced my clutch slave. Rather than rebuild the old one I just
bought a new one .. <$90. And there was a difference!
The old one has a groove along one side where the clamp screw goes, so
it
only goes in one way (bleed screw on top). The new one that came has the
groove all the way around, so I installed it upside down with the bleed
screw at the bottom, so that I *can* bleed it from under the car if need
be.
