Shortened clutch fork

I'm curious why you are doing this? Hydraulic slave mechanical connection?
Yeah, i am having some difficulty setting up my clutch system, first i tried a Keisler hydraulic TO bearing kit, but i screwed up the bearing housing on that, then i tried to set up an external slave cylinder, which i did, but had to shorten the fork as it was hitting my headers, (they are Pacemaker headers) and car is right hand drive in Australia, however when i tried to bleed the system the pedal was very hard, and not sure if it's because i shortened the fork or perhaps where i have mounted the rod from the master cylinder to the pedal, which is totally straight, costing me an absolute fortune and starting to p#@& me off.
