t56 slave installation

Does anyone know where I can find a photo of a correctly installed slave on a t-56 bellhousing? I have the parts but I'm not clear on how to mount the slave to the two studs. It seems like they were made deliberately long, perhaps to aid in adjustment?

I started with a 700R4 so clutch hydraulics are foreign to me.

Re: t56 slave installation

there difficult to find, there are 2 things you can do, hunt through the boneyards for one, or bring your slave cylender to a machine shop, and have one made out of barstock in the same shap as the end of the slave cylender, that's what I had to do, cost me like $10, it is 1.95" in length if you want to go that rout

I did a search for slave spacer and found the part number: 12523315. Gosh, there's so much to know about this swap - someone ought to write a book on it.
