This is what the (new) cylinder looks like:
The left part seems to go through the bulkhead, and the line from to reservoir seems to reappear on right in front of some fusebox (i think) at the top of the bulkhead. 
Does anyone know how to get to the lines disconnected from cylinder?
Edit: Another typo..

After searching A LOT in and around the engine bay, I found the line from the reservoir, and where it connected to the cylinder. The cylinder seems to show up behind what I believe is the brake booster (is this what it's called?).
Atleast, the lines are located behind the huge round thing behind the brake master cylinder.
(This is on the rear right-hand side of the engine bay.
Only problem is, both of the connections are covered in some silicone based compound, which is pretty difficult to remove.
And I can't see where the line to the clutch is going, although I can see the connection to the cylinder.
Any tips to how I can reach the connections/lines?
I'm hoping it won't be necessary to remove too many components.
OT
I need smaller hands..
/OT
Update:
Looks like all I needed was a bigger knife 
I got the d*** cylinder off now, and will get a new rubber line from the reservoir tomorrow. The connection to the clutch seemed to survive, so I'm thinking of reusing that.

Ålesundsdistriktet.. Antar du opprinnelig kommer fra østlandet et sted? La merke til at bilen din var AR-registert, som er Fredrikstad 
Min også har AR-skilter, men det er fordi jeg fikk skiltene stålet(!) i Halden, og fant ut at det var enklere å sette på nye.

Har ikke fått gjort så mye med den enda. Kjøpte den av en forhandler i Molde som ikke var interessert i å gjøre opp for seg. (Fikk den med ødelagt topp + toppakning, ødelagte dempere, utslitte bremser, osv osv osv.. og nå clutchen..) Så vet ikke om jeg skal beholde denne særlig lenge. Men tro meg, scorpio SKAl jeg ha
Da blir det nok oppgraderte dempere + fjærer, samt nytt luftfilter ihvertfall. Muligens også custom bodykit
Hva slags TC har du?

Ah.. THAT TC.. yep.. got it
Thought you meant tuning chip 
TC works like a charm. A BMW got stuck in a nearby hill last winter (ice + 15cm snow + rain), I drove up to him. Stopped. Put it in first, and floored it.. Half a second later, the scorp was going smoothly up hill again

Now, for a little update:
I managed to somehow connect the new cylinder, and bleed the system, but it still didn't do any good. So I decided to bleed it some more, just in case. Yep, there was more air left. The clutch seemed to move more freely now. But then the car wouldn't start.. After much help from people on this forum (I can't thank you enough!), I identified that fault to be the battery. Swapped battery, and the car started.
And more importantly: the clutch worked!
Mostly, that is. There is stille some air in the system, but it is driveable.
Just wish to thank everybody who has helped me.
