I think they were £200ish, for brkts and slave, not cheap but did save on the brain, if i can get near the rear subframe of my build tomorrow i'll take a couple of pics for you, its getting hidden from view now with a mock up linkage for a Kliktronic shifter, Alan

Hi,

my car has got a load of spacers holding the slave cylinder away from the engine. The actuating rod is obviously lengthened to compensate.

I will try to attach a photo. Rescued attachment DSCF2226.JPG

I'm in the process of making a spacer out of 3mm sheet steel which will allow the slave cylinder to be rotated out of the way of the prop - it does foul the water hose on the other side but that is flexible.
The actuator rod doesn't need to be lengthened as the clutch only needs 5mm travel and the cylinder has (at least) 10mm travel.
the only issue is going to be in bleeding as the bleed nipple is now facing downwards.
I'll attach photos once I've taken them.

Pictures (at last) of the adaptor plate and mods to slave cylinder.
As you can see it only just clears the prop shaft! Rescued attachment alltogether.jpg
