Me too, Chris. Stock MC, slave,and braided hose. -4 I think. And a Magic
clutch from TRF.
KISS.
Only time I had a problem was when a rebuilt slave cyl. failed on the grid.
Got it running on the starter and did the practice session without the
clutch.
To all Vets out there: thank you. Lots of flags in the cemetaries.
Bill
