601,
I recently converted my HTOB to an external slave and fork. Why?? Because I had several failures that required a replacement twice, a rebuild once. All Mcleod. To do any work on them you must drop the trans. It was always a tough bleed to purge all the air. I would not recommend but others have had better luck than me for sure.

I did find the Wiwood master cylinder has a slightly longer throw for more movement in the slave. That might help your full disengagement issue. Also I am using a Lakewood w/ a Ram clutch single disc w/ the diaphragm fingers. The clutch fork had to be cut short because of frame clearance issues. Also had to clean up some of the sloppy welds and install a button head bolt to allow the fork to clear the bolt head where the bell bolts onto the trans. TKO600. With all the little finesse and massaging it all works great.

Good luck,
John
