MD conversions at Blacktown sold me a kit for a XD Hydraulic clutch to my TE corty which just fits up to a Castlemaine Rod Shop bellhousing, which I think can take (has bolt holes to fit) a Toploader, I am running a Ford Single Rail so I don't see why it would be a problem I have an old number for him on  (02) 96717508.

Sorry for the late reply. Have not looked at this for a while.

The clutch is installed so not sure what you would see that would be useful, I could take some pics if you let me know what you want to see in particular.

The master cylinder is mounted to a bracket on the firewall made by MD conversions.

Had to drill a hole and bolt holes.

Then there is a pushrod attached to the pedal.

It is a has a threaded rod on one end that bolts to a an eyelet with a brass ball that has a hole in it so it can bolt to the clutch pedal.

I think the master cylinder is an XD.
