T56 swap, U-bolt for Master cylinder?
Did a search, didn't turn up a part# for it and I haven't seen anything on other boards relating to it.
I have nearly everything for my T56 swap, but now i'm tracking down misc. hardware (bolts, and crap like that).
Been looking through several junkyards, haven't found another manual 4th gen or 3rd gen to try and snag the U-bolt from, and it didn't come with my transmission.
But then again, I scored my T56 for $200 out of a Cash 4 Clunkers car, paid $200 for a basic rebuild kit and $250 for labor from a friend who does this on the side, so I've got a rebuilt T56 for ~$650 to put in. Score.
But I need the U-bolt.

It's just an assembly-line piece that makes the mounting easier, you can use a pair of standard bolts to mount the master without loss of generality.
