I have a Tilton Hydraulic Throwout Bearing (HTB), which I've had excellent luck with. To install I depth gauged off the transmission mounting surface on the bellhousing to the diaphram levers on the pressure plate. I subtracted .125 from this measurement and used this to set the distance from the face of the THB to the face of the transmission. The routing of the braided lines was really tight so I used a double "U" type bracket to keep the lines away from the spinning pressure plate. It's bolted through the back of the bell housing using a 10-32 allen head bolt and nylock nut on the outside. Access is through the hole a mechanical lever would pass through. I'm using a 3/4" master cylinder and no peddle travel limiter and it doesn't overextend the piston on the THB.
