I'm using an early Weber/McLeod type - the kind that replaces the input
shaft cover - with good success. I've got it on a T-5 and the action is
nice. It is being used with the stock B master. Putting this in was really
nice since there are no clearance issues between the trans and the tunnel.
You have to have the throwout bearing free space - between the bearing and
the pressure plate - just right (<0.100"). On this particular model, this is
accomplished by obtaining the correct length piston.
Because it took me a few tries to get it just right, I know that all of the
parts are available to reseal and rebuild these units.
I understand the newer style can be adjusted to take up the bearing
clearance. But that's all I know about it.

Subject: Hydraulic Throw-out Bearings
I am about to plunge into the dark world of hydraulic throw-out bearings.
Has anyone had experience of these devices which sound rather good. Good
or bad stories with brand recommendations would really be appreciated.
BY THE WAY
Rover engines.
A while ago I reported discovery of a batch of completely rebuilt Rover
motors at a ridiculously low price (I now have mine) I am now told that
they have gone very quickly and there are only 40 left - which is about the
monthly take-off!
