I just went through this whole process with the constant pressure on the fork. I went through the whole replacement, bleeding, replacing the rod with a threaded rod, etc. I even considered converting to a pull type slave or getting one of the forum members custom bracket and slave that has no internal spring.

After discussing it with the installer, who does SPF's all day long for Hillbank in Irvine, they assured me that the push type with the internal spring intact will be fine and that the constant pressure on the throwout bearing will not cause it to fail, They have never seen one fail yet.

So, install the pusher and don't worry about it. Or get the bracket and slave from one of our members (do a search for BDR slave cylinders and you should find pics and prices). I think Vintage sells them.

Good luck. Either will work just fine.
