You're not going to find any other one othan than the corvette central part. I am running it in my 91 6 speed without issues.

I think its a 7/8" hex and you're going to need a 1" or so offset wrench to make it easy. Slave cylinder needs to be unbolted too.

I put the Corvette Central part in my 93 6 spd while installed in the car. Works great, but those pigtails make it a real PIA to install as there is not a lot of room and they kept winding up on me. Shouldnt be a problem for you outside the car. I didnt even tie wrap as there is no where for it to go, the pigtail was pretty short.
