    going back to the Z-bar, I would like to give it one more attempt...

    You might contact Mike Forte at Forte's Parts Connection, a sponsor of this forum out of the Boston (Framingham, MA) area. Mike makes and sells a really slick little hydraulic slave unit that is very compact and is a "pusher" type as opposed to some that try to "pull" with a cylinder. All external, normal throwout bearing and fork.

    Got kit from Novak..Bracket to slave cylinder had to be cut and
    never could get it to exactly match the hole in the clutch fork.
    Did hook it up though,mounted master cyl on fire wall...Rod goes
    in 4 inchs without any fluid, and only about 1 inch max if that
    with fluid. I stripped the teeth on the clutch shaft. Also seemed
    to get som binding at bellhousing.
