I have about a square foot of 3/16" plate with about a 2" hole in the center. I cut the piece that the master cylinder twists into from my first gen donor truck and welded it to the plate, which I bolted to the firewall. I measured so my master cylinder sits about in the same place it was in the Dodge, so the stroke is the same. Saved a bunch of time trying to figure how to cut the plate so the master would attach to it. 40,000+ miles later no firewall flex or problems.

Sry for no real info or updates of any kind..... I got the truck on the road.... Not done by any means the life took the wheel. I started having real problems with the head. Thought It was the head gasket, but ended up have a crack in the head around the #3 cylinder exhaust valve leaking coolant into the head. Once I get a handle on things I will be posting more progress and the steps I went.
