I have been running a McLeod hydraulic T/O for about a year now in #142 without any problems.

Like anything else when fabricating these cars, the key is proper set up. Because I used a Wedge Engineering Cobra bell as original, a diaphragm pressure plate could not be used. Had to be very careful to properly calibrate the three finger pressure plate assembly, and then make sure McLeod had all of the proper information they needed to fab the T/O. Lots of thought given to keeping the lines out of harm's way, also. Clutch feel is fantastic, and I have not had the necessity to install a pedal stop. Very pleased.

The nice thing about my particular car is that the trans mount crossmember will detach, making removal of the trans from the bottom of the car fairly easy.
