In that case, Chris, there should be no concern over the stiff bearing
causing problems.  In fact, converting to that arrangement is one of the
acknowledged fixes for the problem (on later cars).  Just keep it properly
adjusted (so there is some free play at the slave) as the clutch wears.

Interesting.  At one time, the adjustable forks were NLA, but Moss has them
listed now.  Perhaps the Glovebox Companion listed a substitute and was not
updated when they became available again ?  What was the P/N ?  (Should be
57194, I think.)
