I am expanding my knowledge base and now know what a HTOB is. Let me rephrase that. I knew what they were before. I just didn't venture very far from stock applictions of the things in Rangers and 3/4 ton Chevy trucks.
Since I finally found a T-5 to bolt behind the 283 for the 1957 MGA project. (Thanks again Bob at Big Wheel Bob's!) I had to start researching these things. A normal clutch arm whether mechanical or hydraulic slaved would be located about where the drivers right ankle needs to be. A HTOB is the only way I can go. Willwood, McLoud and the other usual sources gave me sticker shock. $400 plus just for the bearing/slave. Then I found this place:

My first thought was "oh no, I am not buying anything British for this car. It will break before the rest of the car is done." I googled the phone number and found out it is a MN based company using American parts. Now I just need to save up the money.
Why is this in the modified section? I figured I wasn't the only person looking for an affordable HTOB. I also figured one of these could be made to fit a NV4500 or your transmission of choice pretty easily. I still think a junk yard mid '90's Chevy slave/master and hose all connected, bled and with the push rods is the best deal around. However, if you have something else in mind. Here is something else to think about.
