Missing some manual conversion parts

Aside from the big thing like the tranny (although I've got a lead on one), I'm missing the clutch reservoir bracket and the reservoir itself. Does anyone have a bracket that they'd be willing to part with?

How about the reservoir itself? Can I even get a replacement? Is the line going to the master cyl anything special?

I just went to a junkyard. They are easy to find around here. Once you clean the bracket and resivoir up, they look brand new and cost me about $10. The line going to the master is just rubber hose. Nothing special.

PLEASE don't use just any rubber hose on this line. Brake fluid will dissolve most common rubber hoses and you'll ruin your master and slave seals in short order.. The hose MUST be brake fluid compatible....

Any new reservoir should work, the only difference would be how it looks and how it mounts. You can even use fancy motorcycle brake reservoirs they sell, if you want some bling..
