The other problem is that is uses the CNC sourced master that leaks after about 20 minutes.
Mcleod makes a nice kit now that uses a Wilwood MC and uses the bracket.

Easy solution... Build a firewall reinforcement plate. Simple to do with a piece of at least 1/8" steel, a grinder, and a welder. Shape out a nice panel to fit the shape of your firewall where the clutch master mounts... tie in to any structural supports you have nearby, I.e. pedal support... Your choice on whether to paint it up pretty and put it on the outside of the firewall or if you build it into the inside you can weld it into the firewall to make it look more original. You would be surprised how many people do add a hydraulic clutch without some type of reinforcement.
We use a Wilwood 3/4" clutch master with the slave in the pics above and the throw is perfect. With correct pedal leverage you end up with a late model clutch pedal feel.
