Hi Jim:
Someone probably shimmed the cylinder to move the location of the piston
into a clean area of cylinder bore.
Cheers,

Subject: [TR] Why so many spacers on my clutch slave cylinder
I have only had my '74 TR6 since August. Due to it weeping, one of the
first things I had to do to it was rebuild the clutch slave cylinder.
The
clutch works fine but my question is why are there six washers under
each of
the two mounting bolts for the clutch slave cylinder. I just installed
a
spin on oil filter adapter and the slave cylinder sort of gets in the
way
due the cylinder's location with these shims. I am just trying to find
out
if the shims need to be there, etc. Thanks for any help on this, Jim
