T5 Swap - questions please

Great information. I will probably go without the NSS and the reverse lights look like a piece of cake.
A friend of a friend gave me a pedal setup with the long bolt. It's installed and working as a prototype but I want to adjust it so the clutch pedal is higher. And I want to re-enforce the end of the bolt. Now that I know where to locate the connection for the master cylinder, I will remove the pedals and go to a buddy's shop where we will weld the reinformcement. I will send pictures.

Good idea on using a shaft mounted slave cylinder...but I already cut the header so I need to replace it.

Note to self: Put projects on GBody BEFORE installing, not after!

You guys are a wealth of information.,,,thanks again

Update.
Drove car for first time yesterday...not bad considering I had it for almost 2 years.
Clutch and transmission worked fine! Stayed on local roads with the open header...it was LOUD
It's in the shop receiving the new Hedman headers, thanks for the information!

When I get her back, I need to do the following:
- Change Dextron transmission fluid again to properly flush i t
- Change rear end fluid, change oil
- Plugs, wires, cap, rotor, timing
- Add sender for speedometer
- New headlights
- Clean window guides, maybe add relays for the windows to boost voltage
- Add a hidden start switch
- And finally,,,,,, speakers and amp! Plus lots of cleaning!

I think the suspension is the next major upgrade, it felt really soft.

It's going to be a FUN summer!

Sitting here at work depressed....car has been in shop for exhaust since last Thursday.
The place I chose comes highly recommended from 4 reliable sources....some real gear heads.
However, they are struggling!!!

I bought the Hedman Elites 68310 and they fitted the drivers side no problem, around slave cylinder.
They have been struggling with the passengers side. The mechanic wanted to go with a different header style for the passenger side, similar to the one that was there. The thought of having mismatched headers really bothered me so I asked them to locate a mini starter which they did.
I just got the call the mini starter also does not work.

FINE - Put in mis-matched headers! I will fix it myself next winter, I want to start enjoying this car!

Can't wait to see the labor on all of this trial and error! No wonder we turn our own wrenches,,,ugh!

Sorry, had to vent!!!

I just want my car back! Serves me right for letting some other man touch my baby!

My friend picked me up in his 87 Mustang 5.0 convertible and I got the bug!

Thanks for the moral support. Looking at your pic below and what I can recall from seeing the header in my car yesterday, your header is pinned up against the control arm and allows room for the starter.

My header is NOT pinned against the control arm but is in the way of the starter.
Hedman must have changed the mold or something.
