Alignment is very important. We like a rod end rather than a rounded bolt as it allows misalignment without pressure.

This design allows adjustment in both planes with spacers/bushings.

You need the pushrod to be straight when the clutch is fully depressed, so less spacer thickness with clutch released.
The most pressure on the piston bore occurs at full travel, especially with a short pushrod.

It does require the arm to "off" the car but the bracket on the arm is a simple fabricated piece welded to the the arm and we thread the pushrod to take a female rod end with a jam nut. Total cost of parts is less than $20.00 including the spacers to center/align the slave to the arm.
