Blackbird Clutch Slave Cylinder

What are people using for the clutch slave cylinder in Blackbird engined BECs?
I have a propshaft adaptor from Attitude Roadsters and have tried modifying the original slave cylinder and hosing as per the Hayabusa, but it seems as though the propshaft will still go though the edge of the slave cylinder

The other issue with the std slave cylinder is that the union for the hydraulic hose is on the same side as the sprocket, thereby getting in the way. As the bolt pattern is asymmetric, I can't rotate the cylinder if I'm using the standard housing.

I've seen pictures of the Westfield setup - any idea what cylinder they use?
The other issue is that I will be using a hand operated clutch - I have a rear brake master cylinder from a Kawasaki ZX12 to use as the brake master cylinder, so the size of the slave cylinder does get important. Don't want a heavy clutch and I believe that too much travel at the clutch end is a 'bad thing''
