I bought the SPL steel braided clutch line that replaces the factory rubber line. I've seen in various tech articles where you can remove the clutch dampener and bend the hardline back around to connect to the slave cylinder.

My questions is, does anyone make a stainless braided line to negate having to bend the hardline back? I know a lot of people have done this with no ill affects, but re-bending hardline that has been shaped for 17+ years sounds like a stress fracture waiting to happen to me.

Any thoughts?

It's not as bad as you think. Use a bending tool for that.

K - I have a braided line from my master cylinder to my slave cylinder. I believe I bought it through Drift Factory.

Speak to Jason, tell him Greg at NICO sent you.
