Clutch line fitting

[Atown 240]

I'm looking to extend my steel braided clutch line up and over the motor by the brake lines to get it away from my turbo/ dumps.

Anyone know what kind of fitting goes into the slave and if it's the same fitting that goes into the clutch master?

Thanks,

Joe

Search dude. There's a steel braided clutch line kits all over the internet. No need to build your own, they're cheap.

IMO, stock hardline is the best. Companies make aftermarket braided line because Nissan discontinued the hard line.

i kept mine off the parts car, it seemed heavy duty and no point in replacing.

[sebazztard]

oh and yes i belive its the same size on both ends. i used 10mm to get both off so im assuming its the same.

maybe i wasnt clear enough. i have 2 steel braided lines. i want to get a fitting to connect both of them togetehr. I wanted to know what size & thread (bspt/npt & such)

my car used to be auto so i dont have a stock line

Well, then you cant have both on the car at the same time, so, go to wherever your gonna buy the fittings, with the hose, and test fit until you find the one you need. Not that tough. No need to know the actual sizes, unless your gonna buy them online or something. But, I know I could get these locally. Check the phone book for hydraulic parts dealers.

Best bet, is to go to the junkyard and buy the hardline. I wouldn't go extending that line too much. The longer the line, with more connections, means more resistance.

I don't think it's good idea running two lines. You know braided line still expand. I think you should find a hard line from the junkyard. It shouldn't be that hard to find the connector. Use teflon for sure.

I dont see how running 2 lines could be bad? Yeah i'm gonna need more fluid but it's still going to be doing the same thing.

I've gotten a line from the junk yard before and they are always rusted and the threads get f***ed up trying to remove them.

My problem is the steel braided line runs right down by my down pipe & wastegate dump. I'm trying to get it away from the heat so i just want to route the line a different way.

m10. you could use a $20 "clutch hydrolic hose" meant to connect the OEM hard line to the slave... or look for the "connectors" and findone that is m10-m10 -check your lines to see if they need bubble flared or reverse.

[S133P3R]

or you could buy straight hardline, (rent/buy) a tube bender and make a short hardline where you want.

autozone didnt have one long enough for me to reach the OEM "clutch hose" so i bought a SS direct line instead.

Problem is, the master cylinder is gonna have to work harder to push more pressure, because the line is longer and there is a connector, that is gonna have a smaller hole than the hose. You will have more resistance, which is gonna create more work for the hydraulic parts themselves. Just my logic, my logic isnt always spot on though, so, do it, see if it works. or, go to a hydraulic shop and have the line remade longer, at least that way there arent any restrictive connectors on it. No reason in the world why you can go and pull a factory hardline out, I have pulled two, and as long as you have the right size wrench, there is nothing to strip. The threads are stripped????? How???????????? Your removing it, how do you strip threads removing something?

i stripped the crap out of the bolt fittings on the hardlines. GET A LINE WRENCH, they fit the best

i may try that. I just gotta find the right fittings to connect them

[Atown 240]

The bolt head wasn't stripped, but when i got it from a junk yard like 3 years ago it was so stuck that the threads were all jacked up when i tried to use it.

Thats why i orignally went w/ the steel braided line. It ran close to my manifold but i never ran into heat prbolems. Now that im' turbo i gotta move it.

M10 is the thread size. take your SS line with you to check the fittings. good luck!

I have a tap and die set at home so if it's m10 i'll be able to tell what i need.Thanks

Kai sells a ss clutch line for people who did a manual swap.

So your saying you asked this question, for no reason?

No not at all. If i would have known it was a regular metric thread i wouldn't have asked. I figured it was a pipe thread

[driftneil]

Why didn't you try to put the die on it?

[Atown 240]
