Rick;
You are correct about the hard lines are absent on the earlier HTOB's. I installed mine in 1990 and I ran flex lines to threaded
connectors at the ram housing. However, last week I was looking in the newest P.A.W. catalog and they showed a picture of the
McCleod with two lengths of hard tubing (approx 6") coming out
of the assembly. Back in 90' when I was putting the car together,
I couldn't find any room for the slave to be mounted. That is when I decided to try the HTOB. I will "knock on wood" because I
am still waiting for it to fail. I like it.
