Problem started a few days ago,  coincided with loss of clutch fluid, then 
clutch was grabbing near the floor.
Then no clutch at all, thats what prompted the rebuilds.

All those bases are covered.

I'll try replacing the slave cylinder tomorrow.

The clutch shaft was replaced in the clutch rebuild, I wonder if the lever 
is welded on, off a few degrees.

1. Its mounted correctly.

2.  Bleeders on top.

3.  Yep, 2nd hole.

4.   All new components were installed a few weeks ago, when new clutch was 
put in.
