I was just looking at this thread http://www.pro-touring.com/forum/showthread.php?t=55585 about the DSE clutch master cylinder bracket from DSE. I've never installed a hydraulic master cylinder and am close to being ready to prime my firewall. I'm leaning towards using a Wilwood master so it matches the Wilwood brake master that I have. Before I lay the primer on, do I need to get one of these plates to install a hydraulic master cylinder or will the existing hole in my firewall work? Here's a pic of my firewall.

You will need a bracket from DSE/ ATS, etc if you are using a GM master or one that is a similar type. It will have a flange mid way down it's body that mounts to one of those brackets you place under your brake booster.

I havent used the wilwood clutch master so I don't know what the flange around it looks like or if it is designed for a different pedal set up etc.

I was looking around for different alternatives and found that Keisler's kit uses the Wilwood MC which bolts over the stock clutch rod hole.

I have the kit from Keisler for my Casmaro. It is compact and looks great it only bolts to the clutch master and not the brake booster. Checkl it out.
