<< On the subject of slotting the clutch slave cylinder mounting holes, the
Lotus Elan clutch slave cylinder uses a clamping ring to accomplish this same
purpose. The ring is part of a base that is bolted to the bellhousing. The
clutch slave cylinder slides through this ring. When the clutch slave
cylinder has been located relative to the clutch actuation rod, a clamping
bolt & nut are tightened to hold it in place. This also works on a Sprite
with a few modifications. On the race car, it also allows us to remove the
clutch slave cylinder with its line attached very quickly for engine removal
and replacement. >>
Thanks Gary! I will be anxious to eyeball that the next time I get to the
FM. I will e-amil you to find out when you will be there.
