Default Those wanting to use cobra t56 in fox mustang

I am just starting a swap in my 89 fox mustang and have done considerable research into putting in a cable t56. I contacted Bob Bentsen at transmission adaptors in Ham lake Mn and he said doing this would not be a problem but he would need my car there in order to make an adaptor. Since I'm in NC it may be a while before I can get there but if anyone is interested the link to the site is:

This would be a big help for lots of guys, though I'm pretty sure with a little engineering, one could figure how to mount a master cylinder to the clutch cable quadrant and use all the hydraulic setup.

I would just use the chevy t-56 and be done with it. It took me about a day or so to actually install a master to get it to work. And I dont have a welder or any fancy tools either.

With some direction from LX1 I was able to put together a master cylinder/pedal setup for my '86 coupe and even had a buddy fab a nice but very simple steel bracket to hold it all in place. If y'all like I can post up some pics tonight if I get home early enough. It wasn't dirt cheap per se but it's still affordable because I'm a broke-*** and I managed

Mr Hyde, Pics would be wonderful. Since I am new to this swap stuff and also slightly low on $$ any advice I can get would be greatly appricated.
