It bolts in as per the E30 servo and just needs a spacer between the pushrod in the servo and the master cylinder. The length of the spacer does vary a little between cars so a little trial and error is needed with a cut down bolt or similar to get a suitable length for your car.

I'm sure a guide will find its way into the Wiki at some point in the future as part of an M50/52 conversion section.

All the Wiki guides are in a sticky at the top of this forum, and some were written over a year ago. They include this:

Anyone else notice the servo is very tight up against a brake line? From memory I remember not being able to actually bolt it on either but I probably didnt try to hard as I was just mocking things up at the time.

Cheers lads, am nearly ready to get it in the bay so busy cleaning and tidying parts up at the mo.
Just thinking, would it be possible to replace the servo's threaded bar with a longer length to save using spacer in slave cylinder?

that was my line of thinking aswell. spent three weeks looking for some threaded bar to fit the clio servo, then, upon finding all 3 types of bar id found didnt fit properly, broke the servo by pulling on the servo rod too hard.

i didnt try anymore after this and decided a spacer would do for the next servo!
