Default Clutch Slave cylinder bracket

Take a look at my gallery for a photo of the set-up I made for mounting the clutch slave cylinder in a Contemporary frame. The cylinder is a CNC with the push rod shortened. The FE fork was ground down to clear the frame and a new spring mount hole drilled. The right angle bracket uses one bellhousing bolt to mount and the dowel to keep it located. The Lakewood scattershield mounts the clutch fork at a lower point, so either you have to raise the pivot up or cut down the arm. I don't like notching the 4" frame tube, it's strength is in it's round wall. Hydraulic throw-out bearings require pulling the transmission to service. My 2 cents worth,
