T5 5 speed
Need some help. Currently have a t5 in my 80 with a z-bar. Found a good deal on a hydraulic bell housing with hydraulic pedals out of and 82 camaro. Anybody know if the pedal and break assembly would like up with the master cylinder?

Yeah just run the '85 full size truck master cylinder with a wilwood remote reservoir ($24) and call it a day.
The hardest part is finding the right fittings for the master to the slave. I have some details in my thread here:

I suppose you can use any reservoir that fits. I don't know what the original one is like. I just used the wilwood one because it was easy to find and not too expensive.
