[Cobra 29]

I now realize the longer clutch arm (that pivots on the passenger side) is for a cable setup. My car built by HRE (Billy Andrews) came that way. This setup worked with the old 3550 with Centerforce PP and disk and Lakewood bellhousing but it was a senstive adjustment to achieve complete disenagement.

I swapped in a TKO600 using the same flywheel, PP, bellhousing, and new Centerforce disk (26 splines) along with the same Lockheed Wagner slave and Tilton 7/8 master cylinder.

Because most slave setups position the slave to push backwards (for drivers side clutch arm pivot) and the unique slave mounting bracket I have, it will be easier for me to swap the current 7/8 MC for a 15/16 or prehaps 1" for more slave travel. I need to make some calculations / measurements to ensure that I do not push the slave pistion on of its bore.

My second option is to fit the Wilwood pull type slave.

But I still have the same original question; do modern TO bearings need to be clear of the rotating clutch assembly at rest?????
