I got the hose from the hydraulic guy. He used 2 M12x1.5 to JIC adapters shown here (2nd item): http://www.discounthydraulichose.com...ric_p/9068.htm
and then made a hose with JIC female on both sides. It is a braided hose. I had the guy make the hose, but you can but it online from Grangers and the like

I mounted up the MC using Barrman's method, only a bit higher on the pedal, since the MC only had 1.5" stroke.

I'll post up a picture or two tonight. Thanks to everyone who gave me the info
