Default Slave cylinder (hydraulic release bearing) for T56 Magnum...??

The T56 magnum has a much beefier input shaft which means that a stock f-body slave won't have as much clearance as it would with a standard T56 input shaft. I've seen the one from Kiesler but they are super expensive (almost $400 and require all sorts of spacer plates etc... Kiesler's slave for T56 Magnum has bore measurement of 1.163''= 0.148'' total clearance (0.074'' on all sides of magnum input shaft). My f-body slave (bore) measures 1.070'' while the input shaft measures 1.015'', that is only 0.055'' total clearance. That leaves 0.0275'' on all sides of the input shaft...Kinda close... I am tempted to hone out some material on the GM slave to make a little more room. Anybody have any input on this??? Thanks!!!

What ever came of this? Would some very light dremel work be sufficient?
