The later style (OEM cable activated) clutch arm (pivot on internal RH side of Bell Housing) swings in a larger (arc) and (longer) travel than the early mechanically activated type. Adapting the hydraulic sysyem requires removing as much potential side to side binding as possible for long slave cylinder life. If you can incorporate a rod end into the release arm it will go a long way to extending the longevity. Look in the Book "Prepare to Win" By Carroll Smith for examples of how to do it.
