Default Need help with S10 slave cylinder

I have mounted the S10 slave cylinder but need some help/advice on getting it plumbed.

The s10 slave cylinder uses m12x1 fitting (based on Adv Auto's listing) which is considerably larger than the Miata slave cylinder fittings. Do they make fitting adapters? Should I swap out the Miata clutch hose for an S10 variant?

Is there a problem with using the Miata clutch master?

Thanks for any help you can give.

The Ford "kit" uses the stock Miata slave with a larger master cylinder & adapter plate as well as a new line. I would imagine that the stock Miata master cylinder is not large enough to disengage the clutch in this set-up, thus the reason for swapping it out.

The best information I have found is that the Clutch master is changed out and the Miata slave is used.

My deadline is looming so I'm gong to have to try something, the quickest route is to go all stock so I'm going to try it first. Maybe it will just be heavy - I can deal with that.
