I'm fed up with my hydraulic slave cylinder. I wish I stayed with the cable actuation, but I can't go back now.

I know I could drop a mint getting a custom job, but I was hoping someone had done some homework to figure out if one of the Howe cylinders (or competitors) will fit and function for the 901....

Long story, but I'll abreviate...

So, I put a pull-type slave cylinder in the position where the cable pulls, which runs very close to my header... too close. I also didn't feel like I was getting enough throw to fully disengage the clutch. That didn't work.

Next I built a linkage that uses a bellcrank so I could mount the slave cylinder up and further away from the heat and amplify the motion. Now the fluid doesn't get too hot, but the linkage is binding up, so the efforts are too high and more than once, I've lost the ability to actuate the clutch during a race.

I could rethink my linkage, but I'm just creating a complex system that could be much simpler. Simplicity is the best answer, so, I'm going down this other path.
