T-Series MGB break / clutch masters in MG-TD

I have a 51 MG-TD that was a basket case when I bought it and had a lot of missing parts. In order to make a good running car I bought a 72 MGB and installed the drive train in the TD. I put the 72 disk breaks on the front. I don't have the parts to use the floorboard break/clutch setup. The clutch is now hyd operated.
Has anyone installed the MGB break / clutch master cyl set-up in a TD? I have all the MGB master cyl parts and it looks like there is enough room above the driver leg area.
Thank you for any advise / comments.

I've heard of it being done in a TC but I don't have details. You will need to create a mount to drop the pedals down from above, which will be a permanent change to the car. This may affect resale value if that's of any concern.

Steve, Thank you for your imput. If it can be done in a TC I should be able to do it in a TD. As for resale value, I have already decreased the value by putting in a 72 B drivetrain. To make this car orginal I would need to buy $9,267 in parts.
I want to have a car that I can drive when I want to, stopping is also very important.
