The car is a 32 Tudor. The frame is after market with a 7" bendix power assist unit (right in the way). The shaft that both pedals pivot on looks like it is intended to support a clutch pedal.
My problem is that there is not much room for the clutch pedal to actuate the clutch master.
I am not Rube Goldberg yet, but I might get that label by the time my clutch works.
If anyone has examples or info on actuating a hydrolic clutch within a tight space, please let me know. I am sure I will hook it up one way or another, but I thought a few examples might help. Thanks.

I'm doing the same, and there is just enough room to run a long rod and mount the clutch master cyl. aft of the manual Corvette brake master cyl. I bought the McLeod hyd. throwout as no room for slave cyl. You may have to make a heavy duty rod, say 1/2" rod with enough bend to clear the booster. Easier would be to drill a hole in the clutch arm above the pivot and mount the clutch cyl. backwards, but looks would be a consideration there.

In my coupe, I am using a slave cylinder from an S-10. It is a pull type cylinder so it ponts to the front of the car. The bell housing is an 85 or so with a built in bracket for the slave cylinder. It all worked out real well.
