On a Mk1/Mk2 of what?   A Spitfire, GT6, 2000, Spridget, RR Silver 
Shadow or...  ;-)

And assuming we're talking clutch slave cylinders You must fit a
corresponding master cylinder. Otherwise the clutch might not 
travel far enough when depressing the clutch pedal... 

And one should also be aware of the brand of clutch one buys, 
I measured a Borg&Beck and a Lockheed for a 2 litre Vitesse not 
long ago. They both would work OK, but the Lockheed one would have 
been rather binary in its caracteristics while the B&B will give 
smoother operation. (Binary = either on or off, and nothing in 
between...) Guess wich one we choose for the project...  ;-)

Odd one
