Clutch works, but there's a puddle underneath this morning.
Another day (and more probably) lost
Looks like the engine has to come out again as the clutch slave cylinder is leaking from somewhere!

Hi
Are you using the ford item. If so it has not enough travel on it to work in most applications. The kits that are supplied usually mean that a further
spacer needs to be made to bring it closer to the clutch cover and reduce travel. Cant for the life of me remember what the safe distance was for the
ford unit but it was quite small compared to most units that could be used.
It's why the Westfield Duratec cars have constant problems with the clutches. They leak fluid and air enters the system.
Cheers Matt
Its annoyed me quite a bit this one.
I think I will continue with the wiring and plumbing, getting the connections sorted and lengths of cable right, then sunday pull the engine back out
and try and see where its leaking from. Hopefully one of the unions just needs tightening up some more, but I know I tightened them as much as I dared
at the time.
Maybe I will refit them with hydraulic thread sealant. Wont leak then! 
i feel your pain.......we had the engine out three times on the weekend with gearbox , bellhousing and clutch problems.
we still have to put all the trinkets back on to make it run........
Good luck
Ps search birkin austrailia and see what the heck they are using

Come on man i want to see this at the first east anglian meet in march.
I fell your pain though i had my engine and box out recently since then the release bearings been noisey.
you just knew it would happen......lol.
life is never easy.....I am sure you will get it sorted out fine, just keep plugging 
I think my dad is going to give me a hand on sunday to pull the engine out and see if we can see where its leaking from....
Still rather annoyed, but there we go I suppose.
