yes I will be using hydraulic
will be putting a blanking plate on rx8 starter hole
will also be covering up the tiny holes around the starter with nice tidy black silican,
what engine are you using?
mine is all a build in progress so not had it going proper.
I was after a 6 speed to start with but was reading a lot about how the 1st gear is pretty much redundant

Will be a crate engine 2l blacktop. Not ordered yet as wanted to see how the gearbox was going to pan out.

I was thinking either JB weld some aluminium strips over the bell housing holes, or use some self tappers. I have the slave cylinder from the RX8 so plan on buying something like a Wilwood master cylinder attached to the back of the clutch pedal - all early days thinking so far.

Assuming standard sierra 1.8cvh starter motor attached to the adapter plate will work fine - little but of shaving of the bell housing as you say.
