Good chance that extra bracket on the bellhousing will need cutting back to the very edge of the slave cylinder or you'll foul the tunnel thats what mine needed

Looking good!

What make are the calipers? Assuming, if they're off a Massa, I'm guessing Brembo, but look a lot like my APs....

Just have to see what else they fit, (focus RS etc??) so when you need pads, you won't need to pay Maserati prices!!
