Can't help you with suitable master cylinder unfortunately. I was planning on fitting a VH44 in my clutch system to make the pedal nice and soft which you may need to incorporate if you can't get close enough to the optimum master to slave ratio.
Nothing wrong with a remote reservoir for the clutch master, plenty of cars had this standard and it works well.

what i endup doing was fit a ford tipe small master and matching slave that were on most older fords
it sounds like you have done it very simler to me. i allso moded the pedels and cut hole throug the firewall under the wiper motor were the original mouting bracket was for the manual clutch this fitted very good and just missed the rocker cover off the chev with tall covers buy half a inch
cheers dave

Dave, it may well be very similar to what you did except that the pushrod comes out through the original cable hole horizontally
I don't have any pics with me, I am at work for another week yet. The master is one inch, the slave came with the dellow bellhousing, looks about inch and a quarter. The clutch/pressure plate is 10.5 inch Sachs, was told it is 2700 pounds (which doesn't mean much to me). Even with this it is fairly easy to push, the wife did it when I bled the system.
The main reason I went with the Toyota master is because it has a discharge straight out the end which will give plenty of clearance above the tappet cover. I am planning on putting an elbow in the end and turn it to face toward the carby and then route the line from there down the bellhousing.

i'd push on with the current mods, i have the angled master and its really heavy!You can always go back to the slanted master cylinder which work fine for many albeit with a reservoir that never looks full.

i too would love to see the end result when you work out all the details, if its easy to do it will be so worth it
theres nothing like sitting in traffic in the torry with the heavy clutch!

As you can see there is no photo. How it gets on here as a link I have no idea, do I need to send it to someone to add??? It's on my computer so obviously I can't link that.
