If you read my thread about the clutch problem you will see that it raised its ugly head again last week. Today I made my version of the slave cylinder brace using 8mm rose joints that I also happened to have after a failed attempt at making drop links for the front anti roll bar. At the bellhousing end I used a piece of 40mm angle, nicely shaped with a flap wheel in the angle grinder. My slave cylinder end is totally different due to having 8mm joints, I simply unscrewed one of the mounting bolts and using a longer one just bolted it down with a nut between the joint and the slave cylinder foot. Like Airportable said, if you had the room to see to manufacture and fit it would be just an hours work.
I don't think that one of those cheap turnbuckles will fit, they are simply too long. Looking back now I can see that I should have used the slave cylinder mounting bolt furthest from the bellhousing but even then the distance between mounting bolt and bellhousing face is only 155mm. My mounting bracket at the bellhousing end effectively reduces that length by about 15mm
