I had a friend go and measure his power brake booster to see if I was going to have any issues. His measured 7 5/8 from the top bolt to the top bolt and 8 inches at the bottom bolt to bottom bolt. The clutch master cylinder is 7 inches long. I think I lucked out there. If it doesn't work well I can always move it over a little more. The reason I didn't want to put it on the right side of the brake master cylinder is I believe I would have a problem with getting enough push on the clutch master cylinder without the linkage binding. The clutch pedal itself is on a much bigger arc than the small clutch lever is. I was able to control the up/down movement easier on a smaller arm.
