I need a picture of the correct routing of the clutch hydraulic line going into the master cylinder. This is a Girling car.

Does anybody know the lenght of the pushrod for the slave cylinder without the fork, mine seems to long. 4 1/2"
 
Here's a shot by Don Elliott, showing the early Girling MC and, I believe, the correct pipe routing. The pressure line for the clutch ducks down under the brake MC and exits around the side of the bracket.

I picked up a pushrod from the junk bin, it's pretty close to 4-1/2". But don't forget, the slave pushrod lacks the mushroom on the end. The MC pushrod is the same length, but the mushroom might make it effectively longer.
 
Thanks Randall that's how I thought it went. I must be using the wrong pushrod with the wrong end. I have numerous ones laying around.
