SFEAKS,
This subject is dear to my heart. I have replaced every part of the system twice. I had had two of the Willwoods fall appart both times on the track.
My current slave is from Speedway Motors, it is there store brand

half the price of the Willwood and the rod cannot unscrew from the piston, as happened to me twice and a friend once. I had even taken the second one appart and Locktited it all together and it still unscrewed. The Speedway model is not screwed in but "peened" in place.
The way to mount it without a bracket is to take the rear rod off and move it to the front with a bold adapter (long bold about 2 inches threaded that the rods screwinto). You then point it to the rear and run the rod through a bolt hole in the bellhousing. We have steel ones that has the hole lined up with the yoke. I would think the Aluminum bellhousing will have a boss for the clutch cable that could be used. Learned this trick from Reg. I did use the Willwood master for the clutch but Speedway has several cheeper than the Willwood some with remote fillers.
But heat is the problem I cook the fluid a lot on the track. I also incased the line in a heat shield. I have ceramic coated headers and have wraped the headers and also have a heat shield.
