Anyone ever do this? I took an old slave apart and noticed the hole in the line feeding the slave is only 5/64". This seems like a much larger restriction than the one leading off of the master cylider (seeing as they're the same line). What's the point of doing the drill mod on the line by the master if it gets so small on the end that goes into the slave?
Wouldn't our stock masters push enough fluid for clutches like the McLeod Twin if we drill this hole to 1/8" as well? Seems to me that it would work.
Anyone?

Doing the drill mod removes the restriction in the line so the fluid moves freer when engaging and disengaging the clutch. The restriction can cause the clutch to slip when released under power because of the fluid traveling so slow between the master and the slave. Yes they move enough fluid but how fast in reference to pedal movement is the question
Here is a writeup about the drillmod and why it needs to be done.

I asked my shop here in town today while they put new disks in mine. They said you would have to disassemble the slave and hope you could put it back together again. This is because of the way the quick connect for the line is set up. It's not just a straight through whole at that end like on the master side. So basically, they said NO to the drill mod on the slave. Hope this helps.
