Tremec TKX first cuts
@DC Dart and
@ESP47 , I wouldn't give too much thought to the reservoir mounting. Literally anywhere above the MC. Mine is currently mounted with 2 self-tappers up high, close to the hood. Took 30 seconds with a drill. It actually touches the hood when I close it, but I'm not worried. Picture below.
DC Dart, the master is not name-brand, but it's good quality. You can buy it from SST if it ever goes bad, I think it's around 60 bucks. It's a specific bore size to give the correct pedal travel and clutch finger stroke.
ESP47, it's okay to not have a **perfectly** straight engagement. I ran into the same thing, so I spoke with SST and they explained that a tiny bit of side load is not a problem. There is a ball-end at the end of the rod that goes into the master, so it tolerates slight side load.
I have put a good amount of miles on it since the swap (500+) and it's been mint.
