I have been trying to figure out where to mount my brake and clutch M/C's. I don't have room for them in front of the DS footbox due to the engine covers that I fabricated. I barely have room for my hand to reach mu oil dipstick. I already have my fuel pressure regulator mounted on the firewall driver's side. I haven't been able to find any pictures on the forum to give me a reference of how far in front and down from the top of the firewall I should mount them. I may have to relocate my regulator to the passenger side, I'd rather not since I have all my fuel lines made up already. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

maybe go with singles and disperse them a bit... I mounted mine on the firewall, but I know it's going to be a real PITA to check and refill fluids...

With where you're at now, not sure you really have any choice but to mount them on the firewall. Not super convenient. But not a showstopper as they're not accessed that often once everything is set up, bled, etc. Mount them as low as you can to still get the proper gravity flow to the MC's. I'd suggest maybe using translucent reservoirs. That way you can see the fluid level just by looking under there versus having to open the cap and look inside. There are various was to add fluid, e.g. a bottle with a flexible hose.

Looks like you still have room to do something like this.

I relocated my fuel pressure regulator and fabricated a mount for the Master Cylinders today. I think I should have them out in front of the firewall far enough to be able to access them with the body on.
