I'm I the only guy here that actually DRIVES his car? If your only going to put 500 to 1500 miles on it, yeah, DUH, the throw out bearing isn't an issue. I've got 20,000 on mine...

First of all, if I put a return spring on the fork to counteract the slave's internal spring, I would have to use a spring the size of a garage door spring.
Second, if this setup is approved by SPF, it's good enough for me.
Third, I drive my car about 6000 miles a year, this is my second Cobra and I haven't seen, or heard in any of the forums, about anyone that had a throwout bearing fail yet that had a continuous pressure slave cylinder.
Now, just you watch, mine will be the first!
