From what I can come up with, it appears that the access hole is to the right of the speedometer. The fun part is finding a flexible funnel that is small in diameter, and long enough to make the bends to reach the master cylinder. It would be difficult to add fluid, and be able to see what the level inside the cylinder is. Brake fluid isn't real friendly to the floor board paint.
My master cylinder has rubber brake line threaded into the cap. It appears that you reach through that hole and pull the hose up and add brake fluid. It does not work well. I am going to redesign some thing.

The pressure of the fluid is then used to engage the clutch, which allows you to change gears. After the clutch has been engaged, the clutch pedal will be released, and the fluid will retreat back to the clutch master cylinder.
