Clutch planning

Option 1) hydraulic clutch
If you put in T5 hydraulic clutch into the Google you find there is no limit to the enterprising folks that are ready to solve this problem for you:

Prices vary from the high $200's to the $600's.  I don't like this solution for a few reasons.  It is expensive.  It solves the problem for a mustang, so I still need to buy and adapt stuff.  Lastly look at that kit.  You are paying for a hydraulic cylinder and a bunch of hardware store bits, doesn't seem like a deal.

Option 2) Cable clutch
Mustang was cable clutch so I have to do nothing on the transmission end. Focus was hydraulic so, I either need to make the focus pedal pull the mustang quadrant, or install the mustang pedal in the focus.

I don't like the latter.  I feel like the fun is to make a car that looks like a focus outwardly.  Have a big truck looking clutch 3 inches further out than the other pedals kind of ruins that for me.  I pulled the clutch cable and quadrant and started to work things out.

I think it could work well spacewise but it would take some real fabricating to make it work.

Option 3) hydraulic clutch (cheaper way)
If all I need from the kit is a slave cylinder, why not find the cheapest slave I can and make it work?  I am not the first focus build to have that idea.  Awesome that this guy posted that actual part number.  I got the exact same one from autozone and am picking it up Monday evening.

I was going to cut off the hard section of clutch line that went to the focus transmission, flare it and connect it to a new clutch line to connect everything.  I measured the hard line and it was 6mm.  Which is a crappy size.  I want to buy some flare tools anyway, but 6mm is not included in any of the really nice sets.  I will try to bring the line to a brake shop and see if they can make me a line to connect my master and slave cylinders so I can avoid buying a metric flare tool for just this once.

Here is a view of the area we are talking about:

As you can see it is pretty tight.  A cable clutch would attach to the tab on the left side of the hole in the bottom picture and pull the clutch arm.  Alternatively, a hydraulic slave would attach to the right and push the arm.
