Looking good mate look like iv started some thing with moving the clutch cilinder inside the car lol . One thing you must think about is the way you pipe it up its more so the feed pipe to the master as getting the air out of that pipe is a pane . The way I did my cylinder was pipe it all up I then bled it up for a bit I then un bolted the master with the pipes still on and put it as low as pos so all the air went back up the pipe when that was done bolted it back up job done

Did you just have a standard rebuild on the box mate or did you have anything special done to it, bar the centre push.
