[Fot] TR6 Clutch problem Help me help me

[Duncan Charlton]

Henry,
I have a slave cylinder on a Morgan Plus 8 that's installed with the bleeder
nipple at a poor angle and I found that it worked best if I bled it first and
then mounted it.  Is that an option?

Also -- you mentioned that yours is a mix 'n match setup, so I wonder if you
simply don't have enough travel on the slave cylinder's pushrod.  You might
look into using a larger bore master cylinder so that you move more fluid per
inch of stroke.  Pedal effort will go up somewhat.
