is it possible to have hydraulic clutch master on the firewall with the booster on a 65 mustang? I have the mustangsteve power brake conversion on now. It looks like a smaller booster than the original booster. Does anybody have any pics of how this looks if it can be done?
I tried to make Modern Driveline's kit work with MustangSteve's power brake conversion. I couldn't get it to work; The hydraulic master cylinder just wouldn't clear the brake booster. I ended up scrapping the MS brake setup and going with a manual Cobra master cylinder instead. The brakes are awesome (I have Cobra 4-wheel disc brakes), but they definitely take more effort.

I made an under-dash assembly to mount the clutch master, like on 05+ Mustangs. I used the MS kit with an 89 4cyl Mustang booster. I think I remember seeing a thread where somebody used a hydraulic clutch with that booster. Try a search (no key word suggestions though).

do you have any pics of your creation to maybe spark some ideas? what if you put a spacer on the left side of the clutch pedal to space out the clutch push rod away from the booster?
does any modifications have to be made when using the 87-93 fox booster for the clutch master to fit using the modern driveline kit or is it a direct bolt in?
The biggest issue I recall using the Fox 5.0 booster (in my '65) is that it moved the MC so far forward that it would no longer clear the stock export brace. This is a '94-95 Mustang GT MC so if you went with a smaller MC you may not have this issue but you will need to test fit it and find out.
I changed to the Street or Track billet export brace and it clears this MC just fine.
