Your pickup looks great 👍
Regarding the clutch master cylinder leaking around the cap sometimes, I had the same issue when I changed my old master cylinder for a new one. The cap leaked, then cracked. So I brought another new one, again that leaked and cracked as well.
In the end I brought an old original second hand one at a Mini show, and it hasn’t leaked or cracked since. Might be worth a try!

cap cracked on mine too.  fortunately i had a spare (..from the previous new one which ate the seals!)

 

swap out to the old style cylinder is a good call. cheers

Question about your fuel tank and electric pump. Is the electric pump just using the one line from the tank? I plan to use a more modern setup with return line and vent pipe as I am using an Integra engine as it has a high pressure system. They usually mount on the top of the tank and I don't believe there will be any room between tank and floor. One option would be to have an inspection hole for internal pump close to the side wall and behind the wheel well and the lines would connect above the floor. Would have to also manufacture a proper cover. Any comments or observations on you system would be appreciated.
