Any issues with a cut down clutch fork? I mean apart from the obvious that a hydraulic slave will need more force to work it?

I have cut down a couple of clutch forks with no issues. I guess if you cut it so short that the force needed to depress the pressure plate exceeded the strength of the fork could be the only issue. However, I really doubt that could happen.
 
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.
 
I think you want a 6 or 7 to one mechanical advantage on your clutch pedal. Rod
