Aftermarket Clutch Pedal?

[ChristianEwing]

This is something I've been looking up and working on for the last month or so now, I am currently building an 93' ford ranger that has the 4.0/M50D-R1 in it and I am in a situation where the factory pedal configuration does not fit anymore and I'm having to make everything myself. I am going to still run the factory slave cylinder and everything "factory" at the transmission side, I am just changing everything from the trans up to the pedal assembly. McLeod makes a hydraulic clutch line that plugs into the disconnect on the slave and converts it to a -4 AN fitting so I have the new clutch line figured out already

The question I have is, I'm sure someone has replaced the factory clutch pedal/master before in one of these trucks with an aftermarket assembly, what bore size master cylinder did you go with? From what I've gathered 5/8's diameter is the factory master cylinder size (or very close to it in metric sizing) and I was planning on getting a aftermarket Jamar 5/8's master for it. The only problem I am running into now is I don't know if the stroke of an aftermarket master is the same as the factory master cylinder, I am going to verify this today, so I don't know if a 5/8's master with a shorter throw will be creating enough line pressure. I have the option to run a 5/8, 3/4 and 7/8's bore size master from Jamar to fit my new pedal assembly.

Does anyone on here have experience swapping out the factory clutch pedal? This may turn into a trial and error event but Id rather not go that route if I don't have too I just don't know enough about, but im fixin to learn somethin whether there's an answer out there yet or not!

@Maritime Drag Racing might know or one of the other people who have heavily modified their Rangers and Bronco IIs. Not a common subject though.
