Clutch Master Cylinder Firewall Bracket

I'm installing a 6 speed in my 66 Cutlass and need a bracket to mount the clutch master cylinder. Does anyone know where I can get one or have any of you made one or modified a bracket from another application? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Lee you might look into what the 64-67 Chevelle guys are doing. I would just make it from scratch from 3/16" plate if it was mine.

that's the current plan, but I wanted to double check b4 reinventing the wheel. You made yours from scratch? I've been too lazy to go look through your build thread!

I just converted to factory mechanical linkage when I did my 5-speed swap. I wanted to do hydraulic but it was out of my budget.

I'm not sure what the Chevelle guys are using, but could you use a factory 3rd gen F-Body master reservoir/bracket? They mount to a bracket that bolts to the master cylinder stud.

why don't you get a reservoir with mounting tabs molded in?
