Jhv.....that's exactly what I ended up doing and it fits well. I am going to make some aluminum spacers and have them tacked on in place of the washers just for the hell of it.

Thanks Mark IV for the offer, but I'm just going to redo this one.

I tried a return spring and spent 2 hours making brackets for the spring to attach to. I used a spring that would return the piston all the way and relieve the pressure on the TO bearing. .... The clutch felt like crap and the lesson learned is that the spring on the inside of the slave is to take up the slack between the yoke and TO bearing and gives a shorter throw on the pedal and has a better feel.

There are a ton of threads on Cobra Club stating YOU MUST USE A SPRING. Then there are just as many saying you CAN"T USE A SPRING! In this case a spring made it worse. apparently this is why the slave is spring loaded...duh!

Thanks for all the help everyone. I will talk you all during the next crisis.
