I can take some, but I can explain what I did fairly easy.
The "base" (that bolts to the cab) is a leftover 2.5" exhaust flange that fits over the original mounting holes. I welded 1/2" nuts on the backside of the flange to act as spacers / transfer the load to the firewall. There are two bolt heads on the firewall the flange would sit on and not be fully supported w/o doing this.
From there, I used the flange as a template to cut the same sized hole in a piece of 1/4" plate (the one the master cylinder mounts to). I figured out how much room I'd need to set the M/C away from the firewall to access all the bolts - then cut a piece of 16GA 2.5" O.D. exhaust pipe to fit.
The pipe extends through the flange, to the firewall (to seal the gap). I welded the pipe to the flange and then to the M/C mounting plate.
I'll grab a photo to try to illustrate this better.
Also, the M/C is from a 97-2002 Jeep Cherokee. Not sure how well it will work, I just try to save $ where I can - and the M/C and Stainless headers cost me $75 altogether.
