I had a new rubber clutch line made up my a local brake shop and have now finished the mounting bracket for the rubber line and bending up the hard line. It only took 1/2 hour to bend up the clutch line and due to the tight fit with the radiator and thermofan in place, I made sure the clutch line ran under the slave cylinder instead of in front of it. I didn't want any fouling to occur.
Also, the slave cylinder is not the factory EP82 slave. The advantage of not being the first to do this conversion is that a few people before me have already figured out that using the Mini clutch master cylinder and the EP82 Starlet clutch slave cylinder gives a very hard pedal feel. When the 3/4" bore EP82 slave cyl is replaced with an Australian Starlet EP91 7/8" bore cyl, the pedal feel is much lighter and nicer to drive.
