Here's the best picture I can get, as requested. The slave has a pretty strong spring that pushes the plunger "closed" or back toward the end where the bleeder is when there is no pressure. It is a pretty strong spring and pulls the fork arm back toward the back of the car as soon as the pressure is released.

I have a threaded rod adjuster...BUT, the best way to adjust this one is to loosen the body nut on the slave and just move it where you want it a few flats at a time, then tighten up the opposite lock nut on the slave body.

Also, just for the threaded rod guys. If you cut the spherical bearing end out of an old rod end that has the right diameter for your threaded rod and use that as the contact end of your threaded rod to the fork arm, it works great and will never wear out. Not a new idea, but really simple and works forever.

You can get the parts and fab it up, the slave is racing part from another world, or just call Bill Littleton at GCPC, he's already done all the work and it fits like a glove. Good guy to deal with.

Hope this helps.
