Yes, it would seem that just a plain straight shot would be easier. The spacer is interesting as well. I do not have an appreciation for the subtleties that dictate its use in some combos and not others. And I don't know whether Lippy is using one or not. I can tell him though that mine just bolts right up and bleeds out with no trouble at all. I've had it all apart, both the master and slave just sitting on the garage floor, then I just bolt it back in, a quick bleed, a quick adjustment with a feeler gauge, and *poof* it works like a charm.
