I had a master cylinder setup from American Powertrain but it won't fit with how far back my motor is (can't move it forward either as the pan then hits the team z k member.
I really don't want to use the Mcleod setup and I am looking for a parts list and some pictures/ write ups on making something else work.
I have a manual brake setup that I have not yet installed. Been trying to decide if I want to use that or go back with power brakes.
What manual brake setup are you using?
Also this is my current setup using the MC out of a Nissan 240SX which is what the guy did in the first link I posted. I haven't got to use it yet since I'm still in the middle of my build, so I don't know if I have enough throw to disengage the clutch.
I am running a manual brake setup from jegs that uses a strange master, well that's what I have sitting in the box. I am thinking of doing a setup similar to yours but with a wildwood 3/4" master
I thought about doing the Wilwood 3/4 but I was in a hurry and went with the Nissan 240 one because it was $20 or so from the parts store.
How far out are you from driving it? That's not bad at all if it works out, on the one wilwood that guy used I wonder if the reservoir is large enough. I sent him a PM but have not heard anything.

Power brakes are overrated and take up room…lol, get a UPR adaptor block, use a `93 Cobra M/C 15/16" bore and be done with it, the smaller bore M/C will make the pedal feel right as the 1-1/16 makes the pedal feel too hard and more difficult to stop. As far as the clutch m/c, you can use about any type, I used Pontiac Fiero V6 from a local parts store and it worked out perfect, it uses a 12x1.0 banjo bolt, you can use a 12X1.0 pre made line as well. This my set up before fininshing the the brake line plumbing to the line lock

I'm close but so far away, probably be a month or two.

Do you have pictures of inside the car how you attached it?
I don't like the pull style on the mcleod, have read of guys having issues with it and also it's way more expensive than some of these other options for something that may/may not work. The setup I have is really nice just unfortunately not going to work for me.

Remove pedal assy. Pull out the "axle" and rotate it downwards so that it pushes a pedal rod towards the firewall vs. pulling a cable up over the top as it did in stock form. Reinstall the pedal assembly, make a clutch pedal "up" stop as well as a "down" stop. The Fiero clutch master came with a good push rod for the job but I did cut it in half, threaded the 2 halves (7mmx1.0) and added an aluminum 1/2 round stock piece to the middle so i could lengthen and shorten the rod to perfect length. Oh yeah, this is really much easier when the dash is out, just saying
