t5 swap experience needed please
Well the hydro parts came in from rosehill and they look nice.
Just not sure exactly where the master cylinder goes...I thought it was supposed to be where z bar push rod would come thru. But since I'm converting from an auto, how would I know where that is?

I was hoping it would be easy with my dremel and some cutting wheels. I have one of those flex cords for the dremel too so if it's tight I could still probably make it happen. Not sure though...
From the engine compartment it is below and to the right of where the brake master goes through the firewall. I believe I used an 1-1/2" hole saw with a drill bit center. Not sure the technical name of the hole maker. The shock tower made it difficult to cut cleanly because I could not drill straight on. My hole ended of being ovaled a little, but the z-bar grommet covered it and stayed well. Don't believe I took any pictures but here's a trick.
Find a site selling reproduction sheetmetal for the firewall and make note of where the holes are. Match up holes you see in your firewall for the area between the wire harness hole and the brake master cylinder hole. Then look down 6 to 8 inches. You should see the dent (dimple) that you can use as the center point for a hole saw like I used.
