Master Cylinders
Seems Hurricane is supplying the compact master cylinders from Wilwood with their kits. The ones shown in the picture from Lampe's HM-2002 were longer and looked like they protruded below the foot boxes. The compact ones are shorter and do not protrude.
Here's a profile of the compact master cylinders without the heat shield.
You can see that there is a good bit of distance between the bottom of the foot box and the master cylinders. Something could of course be thrown up to hit/damage the cylinders or lines. I put 90 deg adapters so the lines are toward the top.
If necessary, a plate could be either welded or bolted to the bottom of the foot box to protrude forward to cover the cylinders/lines for protection. Bend an upturn on the front of the plate and should protect them pretty well. I'm not sure a plate is necessary though.
Hurricane is pretty fast in getting their kits out. I think mine was 6 weeks so your's should be ready soon. The wait was a killer for me too. Some guys wait a heck of alot longer from other manufacturers.
