Slammed68 Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 Just kinda in a bind right now, does anyone know what exactly size AN fittings I would need to run a braided AN line on a Tilton master. Its running to a stock T56 Slave cylinder. Thanks guys. I had a line ordered on jegs but its backordered and forgot what size it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsommer Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 I took mine (although it's a T-5 slave) to a hydrolic hose fabricator and hooked me up with a steel braided line all the correct fittings etc for $50. Might want to check that option. D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slammed68 Posted December 4, 2007 Author Share Posted December 4, 2007 I work at a custom motorcycle shop and we have all the AN lines I could ever want. Im pretty sure its -3AN both sides with the top a 90* but I would just like to back this up. It was expensive as hell on jegs for one, but here its only going to cost about 35 bucks.

BillZ260 Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 Well, I will double check tonight, but I had to get a -4 to -3 adapter in order to hood the tilton to the supplied braided line that came w/ the HTOB... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slammed68 Posted December 4, 2007 Author Share Posted December 4, 2007 So the size of the threads inside the tilton are -4AN? Reason I am asking is because If I get that hooked up tonight I can drop in LQ4/T56 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m1noel Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 looking at tiltons site it depends on which series master you use. Some are -3, some are -4. The 74 and 75 series are -3 I believe. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heavy85 Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 Master is a -3, the hose (at least the one that was recommended on this board and was very expensive from Summit and is too short) is -4. I had to get a -3 to -4 and a 90 deg swivel elbow. Now need to get out my hose stretcher as the hose it ~1" too short... oh and I forgot the depth of the flare is huge so the std -3 to -4 adapter is too short. OK so I'm probably not the best example to listen to as I'm in about $150 so far and I have nothing that will work. Sorry just a little frustrated as I thought I could take the advice of a post here and save some time ... Cameron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Grenade300 Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 When I did my LS1/T56 swap, I used a Tilton 7/8" master cylinder... To connect it to the T56 I used Russell part number 640281 and a 32" braided stainless steel brake line with a 90 deg fitting on one side (-3 AN female connections on both sides) sold by Jegs or Summit Racing (in the Russell part description it says for a Chrystler, but this is the part you need). The Tilton comes with a screw in adaptor that you screw into the end of the Tilton. This makes the output of the Tilton a -3 AN male output. The Russell adaptor is a -3 AN male fitting as well. You will need to seperate the bellhousing from the block to install the Russell fitting. Use a small punch to drive out the rollpin holding in the origional GM "snap" connection in place. You then replace the GM "snap" connection with the Russell unit and re-install the rollpin. While you have the bellhousing seperated from the block you will need to install the 32" braided brake line onto the Russell connection and then attach the other end (the end with the 90 deg fitting) to the Tilton cylinder once you have the engine in the car. I did a whole write up on my LS1/T56 swap and it covers the Tilton issue I just described with pictures. You are welcome to download it for free.

BillZ260 Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 Checked last night and mine came w/ a reducer, but it was too long or something and I bought a different one. But the master is -4 and the line is a -3, for mine at least. Master = Tilton 3/4", came w/ two resiviors as well as a remote resivoir mount.

Slammed68 Posted December 5, 2007 Author Share Posted December 5, 2007 So basically if I got a line with a -4AN male fitting on one end and the -3AN fitting on the slave side it would fit like butter? Ive already got the Russel clutch adapter. If that wont work, where can I get one of those -4AN to -3AN fittings for the slave? Im getting a used one and it doesn't come with that little fitting.

heavy85 Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 where can I get one of those -4AN to -3AN fittings for the slave? Your local industrial hose store. Even our small town has two of them. They are usually known as 37 degree JIC fittings in the industrial world instead of AN but they are the same. Cameron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
