    Under dash hydraulic clutch MC

    Anybody using or have input for Malwood’s under dash clutch master cylinder assembly? https://www.malwoodusa.com/hydraulic-under-dash/malwood-usa-1964-1966-mustang-hydraulic-master-cylinder-clutch-pedal-kit-billet-reservoir/  
    I was at Barrett Jackson last week and finally pulled the trigger on a Blueprint 302 Cruiser engine/trans package but the trans is set up with McLeod hydraulic throw out with internal slave. I had already set my car up for MS cable clutch (which I will be selling) a few years ago. With the brake booster and SSBC Prop Block, I have no room on the firewall and it looks like Malwood solves my problem. Any thoughts?

    Two thoughts, first it is pricey - but that's only relevant to you.  Second thought is to make sure it pushes enough fluid for your slave cylinder.

    The Mal Wood stuff has a great name down here. Made not far from me. A lot of guys over there seem to be swapping out the Modern Driveline stuff for it. They all seem happy.

    I don't enjoy working on the brake light switch under the dash. There's no way in hell I'll ever install a brake master cylinder under there.

    Looks like an interesting setup.  Seems like it would further complicate the already tight under-dash area, and I wouldn’t want any potential leak in the interior.
    Nice looking reservoir.
    As Rufus 68 posted, verify the volume of the MC is compatible with the volume needed to properly operate the slave cylinder travel. 
    Suggest to also verify if the clutch pedal in the stock location, or is it moved over somewhat.
