Billy- Your upgrades & color change on the car looks great!
On the Clutch reservoir to M/C is a great idea.. I have seen that on late model cars.. but on the road course & if you boil brake fluid it will also have a impact on your clutch.. I know that late model cars that are road raced change to remote reservoir.. Just my opinion..

With an effort to simplify things and lose unneeded weight where it was practical. We removed the clutch fluid reservoir and tapped it into the brake fluid reservoir since they both use the same fluid.

We run manual brakes on Blu Balz & all the testing we had done was with Autocrossing with Superlite 6 pistons which have a piston area of 4.04 (1.62/1.12/1.12 piston size) with pad volume of 4.09 on a 7/8 bore M/C worked great up until we started running the car on big road courses @ the first few events.. Karl didn’t feel confident with the brakes… So we had to make changes..
We upgraded to W6A calipers which have a piston area of 5.40 (1.75/1.38/1.38 piston size) with pad volume of 5.2 on a 1.00 bore M/C… The brakes worked great this past weekend @ Road America.. I thought we were gonna have to go back to a booster.. Manual brakes work great as long as you match caliper piston to bore on the M/C.. Pedal ratio is also important..

thats only if you match the master to piston size.
