Thanks for the replys guys.

Bruce, what do you mean too long? I need a rod long enough to preload the pressure plate enough. The reason I ask is one thing I think may be a problem is the hole in the fork may not be large enough to allow the rod to arc and the fork moves and I may get binding from the rod sticking through the fork. Is this what you are talking about?

SpecialK, are you using a Tremec in the Kirkham. The forks are different that the Toploader and I'm thinking that has something to do with it.

Tom, my hydraulics are a little rusty, but I think the stroke should be the ratio of the areas of the bores. Even with the .75 master, I should get 73% of the master's stroke with a .875 slave. I was thinking the master's stoke was at least 1 in and if that is the case, the stoke I'm getting is still a little short.
