Questions Regarding Clutch Slave & Master

Hello,
I'm in the process of installing a 2004 6BT in this big beast.
I've installed an NV4500 with a gear vendor on the back & am trying to figure what to do with the clutch slave cylinder. The truck is a 1960 W500 & it has a hydraulic clutch. I want to leave the stock cast iron Clutch master on the firewall as opposed to adapting the modern plastic junk. I ordered a jobber slave cylinder for an NV4500 through Piers but it's the kind that uses the plastic line, "O" ring & pin design. The master is the threaded steel line flare fitting design.
Is there a threaded slave available that will work with the NV4500 or is there a way to join the plastic to steel?
What have you guys been doing?
Tell me I don't have to put that crummy plastic thing up there & start butchering my firewall?
