I finally started the engine on the Manx and it sounds sweet <photos coming soon>. Disc brakes front and rear, and hydraulic clutch slave, but what pedal assemblies are any of you using to control all of this in a manx. I don't really WANT to cut through the frame member and tub to fit forward mounted hydraulics. Has anybody done a dual master overhung with balance bar, such as a Tilton?
bending front cage hoop tomorrow, wish me luck. :crazy:447844794482

You could mount the clutch master cylinder inside of the the tunnel and modify the clutch pedal cross shaft end to operate it.
SACO/German Auto sells a bolt in kit to do it. On the raffle Kick Out SS I install a Wilwood master cylinder inside the tunnel with a remote reservoir. You need to make a access hole in the tunnel on the other side from the pedal assembly to get to the master cylinder. Makes sure to reinforce opening so tunnel will not crack.

Here his a couple of pictures giving you and idea on what needs to be done to fit a master cylinder inside of tunnel for the clutch. The hose coming out of tunnel in front is for the reservoir (lower corner of picture) for clutch. Reservoir was mounted on firewall above brake master cylinder.
I had to make a bracket to hold master cylinder in place inside the tunnel. Line to slave is a covered braided -3 ran inside of the tunnel.
