Title: More hydaulic Clutch Questions
Post by: andrew beedle on February 14, 2007, 10:08:56 AM
So I now have the correct pedal assembly and all the mounting brackets needed to mount my master cylinder. Now the question is how the hell do I connect a pressure line to this cylinder. I have never seen a hydraulic connection like this. It almost looks like it has an o-ring inside the end similar to a fuel line connection. I would like to use braided stainless line to connect up to my slave cylinder so I need an adapter of some kind to convert to standard AN and JIC fittings. Any help is much appreciated

I've taken the fittings and had them crimped into a braided line (-3 or -4 depending on the fitting size and stock line ID.

The stock fittings are held in place by a roll pin.

What kind of fitting is the stock fitting? I have no clue as to what it looks like.

my slave is one of those "quick dick" connectors,, exactly like quick air line fittings.  The tubing from the master to the slave is the same type as well (like high presure air line).  I would rather have the wedding band type on this line but it does not leak so i guess its fine.
