Slave cylinder mounting and adjustment questions

[lippy]

Thanks for all the help. I think I got it. I had to grind off part of the bell for clearance, but I touched up the paint after. Then I ground the front of the block flange level, and drilled and tapped two holes. I leveled the engine and then leveled the slave, and eyeballed it for lateral alignment. It seems to be pretty close. I also ground off some of the fork (thanks to Patrick). Once I have a spring on there will be enough room to allow for about 1/8" of play, maybe a bit more.

Looks good - good luck with the install. When I installed the slave cylinder hose I didn't think about keeping the salve cylinder rotated with the bleeder valve at the high point (details, details - there's that mechanical clutch linkage background again). Drove me crazy trying to bleed it until someone pointed it out. Looks like you have yours at the top.

You may want to think about taking a dremel or cutoff tool and grinding a screwdriver slot in the end of the rod. It's something I wish I had done on mine (and I still intend to) to simplify adjusting the clutch clearance.
