i used a focus ib5 gear box its hydraulic as standard and a really nice cable linkage with that master cylinder.
but there is more than one way to skin a car they say.

Did you have the engine out to fit it or can it be done from the drivers footwell?
How do I know which slave cylinders will be matched to the master, what should I be looking for?
RD do a cheaper one http://www.rallydesign.co.uk/product...oducts_id=4053 is there any reason I cant use that?

Sorry for all the questions but not done any work with hydraulic clutches before!
Cheers!

if you take the inlet off theres plenty room, just ring compbrake or rally d's and ask for a salve cylinder to suit that master cylinder.

Standard pistons and rods, BHP should be somewhere around 200-240bhp mate.

Removed the clutch today and there is no sign of oil, everything is exactly as it should be, so as far as I can tell the clutch was slipping because of the torque/power.
