I went through a lot of work smoothing my firewall. I would really like to keep it clean and hide the master. Has anyone used this setup?

It would work fine if you have the room under the dash.

would that hang form a rollbar ? Also looks like it might suck to fill... Brake Fluid + carpet = Yuck

I agree but how times do you fill your fluid?

Yeah, filling it would suck. There are some REALLY nice units available for mounting in the engine bay that don't clutter up your firewall. I just wonder how big of a nightmare it will be to service under the dash. Clutch and brake systems both being hidden would be cool and look great though. Are you going to race the car? If you do, I would check rules about having fluids in the passenger compartment like that. It would suck to not get past tech after all that hard work. I would think with the right master cyl and nice plumbing, you could make the whole set up a really nice part of the engine bay and it would just add to the quality of your build. Just my .02

I've seen some "trap door" under floor setups that hide everything and keep all fluids outside the passenger compartment.

If you're going to track the car you will be replacing all the brake fluid before each outing unless you go frequently. So if you go 2-3 times a year you'll probably change all of the fluid 2-3 times a year. The brake fluid absorbs water over time even though the systems sealed which lowers the boiling point of the fluid. You do not want that to happen on track!
