Different part numbers in my workshop manual, but they look the same to my untrained eye!?!? GMC307 and 578994 respectively. Are the rods a different length? I found what I think is a used brake master in my spares, I'm wondering if I can use it as a clutch master for my forthcoming manual swap? Just the addition of 578729 Clevis lever and hey presto? Or am I missing a trick here?
Should've snapped a photo. It looks as if it has been opened once before, probably to fit a new seal, anyway it does't look round anymore and doesn't want to fit into the bracket 578625... The part that has been butchered with a screwdriver doesn't have it's own number in the diagram, I don't know what to call it. If the cylinder could be tightened to the bracket it wouldn't be visible anymore, but it doesn't want to fit...

Thoughts, guys? Is the bit I've tried to descibe available with a rebuild kit, and can I in fact repurpose a brake master cylinder to become a vertically mounted clutch master?
