I also have a B&B car that experienced a Wilwood clutch slave cylinder failure. Although I have a FE motor I think our clutch activation setup is very similar if not identical. What I observed on my car was that when the slave cylinder was connected to the clutch it was at a slight side angle which was placing a side load on the Wilwood slave cylinder. Side load on the Wilwood 260-1333 will definitely cause the problems that you have experienced To correct the problem I built a new mounting bracket that placed the slave cylinder in correct alignment with the clutch assembly. Fortunately on a B&B car the slave cylinder mount bolts to the main frame rail. I removed the one that was on the car and installed the new mount that placed the slave cylinder in correct alignment with the clutch. I made this modification two years ago and I have not had any more slave cylinder problems.
