Anybody have any photos they can share of this setup? How did it install? Is it somewhat easy to in stall? I have a manual 68 camaro. Would it be easier to buy the brake clutch setup?

Buddy, I can get you some pics tonight or if you have Skype I can video call ya and walk you through it. I know you may have a solution to your issue but for the sake of discussion...
The Wilwood is a generic kit, but I am running a bracket from Weir's. The master bolts to the frame rail where the Z bar bracket would go. It sits on this Weir's bracket and its tight against the inner fender, I had to bump mine a bit to get it to clear. But, not much. The bracket would be very easy to make. A threaded tube with a heim mates the master to the factory clutch pedal and works out great. This could also be very easily duplicated. There is enough room to put the fluid resevoir right on the master, but a remote option comes with it. Braided line goes to the TO bearing. I changed absolutely nothing on the factory pedal assembly other than the rod and it works great. The set-up clears my headers, the steering box and there is plenty of room even with the resevoir for brake plumbing. If you are interested I can shoot some pics tonight and post here.

Ok these might be hard to make out but if you have a first gen they should become clear if you stare at them lol.
