Default Making up a hydraulic clutch

Seeing as Ive fabricated just about everything else for my 3dr project out of bits and bobs I figure the clutch should not be left out
I was thinking that with the number of hydraulic clutches around from front wheel drives I should be able to use on on my project car.
Has anyone tried this ?

I think its doable, just need to work out a few specs ...

the complete system from an old bmw e30 works perfectly on my t5 box....all parts easily from a scrappy near you.and rear wheel drive as well.

Thanks for advise guys, looking at the bits this will work nicely

I have the bits, a new girling 625 master and S/H e30 slave..
I am about to make the plates for firewall and T5.
I saw some questions on pics / specs of where to fit, if you have any pics / specs please send as I will be making change now but not putting in for months... The car will be painted all over (bare shell now) so I don't really want to guess.
