[QUOTE="Foghorn, post: 16904767, member: 142386"] I have the MDL conversion kit. On the Cobra, the driver side cam cover has the PCV valve located on the upper rear corner. It is very close to where the clutch cable passes through the firewall. The MDL kit repurposes this hole to mount the hydraulic master cylinder, pass through the firewall, and connect to the clutch pedal. The master cylinder with an integrated reservoir will interfere with the PCV valve, but the master cylinder with a remote reservoir will clear it. Then to find a place to mount the reservoir… Or, you can change the driver side cam cover to one from a Lincoln Aviator, which moves the PCV forward a few inches. Then the MC with integrated reservoir will clear. In either situation, regardless of which MC or cam cover you use, you will have to cut a small notch out of the coil pack cover. See my other thread titled MDL hydraulic clutch for pics. Also, if you ever have to service the driver’s side cylinder bank such that you have to remove the cam cover, the clutch MC will have to be removed in addition to all the other stuff… Another conversion kit that isn’t advertised very well and fits under the dash is made by Malwood. It seems like a quality piece as well, but I found MDL first. [/QUOTE]
