78nismoZ Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 Does anybody know what parts store I can order the metal clutch line that goes from the master to the slave cylinder? Or does anyone know what size fittings are on each side? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macambra Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 Battery acid? It happened to me also. Go to your local parts store with the line in hand. Just a piece of advice... make it a two piece line.Make a short piece at the clutch master,and a long piece for the rest. It will make your life easier. Use shrink sleaving over the end around the battery so that it won't happen again. I didn't cover mine the first time... Try not to bend the line too much while removing it. Use a cheap tubing bender and copy your existing line. Make sure you match the threads on the line BEFORE you leave the store. My local NAPA had two different metric ended lines. Good luck!! Let me know if I can help further. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jared Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 Yup, just buy the tubing and bend it yourself. 3/16" tubing with 10x1 metric ends. Shrink wrap is a good idea too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mario Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 Do not ask me how I know this but do get the tool to bent the pipe, do not do it by hand:-| Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
260DET Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 Take the old one to a brake shop and get them to make a new one up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ineptitude01 Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 For those of us converting auto to manual, does anyone know how long the line needs to be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roger.svoboda Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 junkyard that is a part that is usually still in the carcass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ineptitude01 Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 Huh. I was in a Pick N Pull, looking at a 280Z, and trying to convince myself that it would be the easy thing to do, but I didn't grab it. I guess I'll do that after all. I'm just concerned that anything that's been sitting in a Bay Area yard is gonna be pretty rusty on the fittings. Maybe it's time I jumped over to the parts wanted section?

jasper Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 :rolleyesgIf I were you....... I would buy a tube flaring kit. They are cheap !!! Buy 5/6 foot sections of brake line at the auto parts store..(METRIC)....CHEAP. Learn how to use the tool....Easy. I would bet over 50% of the guys on here either own, and or know how to use one. This is a skill you will need if you own older cars. PRACTISE>>>>tubing is cheap. As for the shape/routing .Check out some the pics on here of the engine bay, with the engine removed. Routing is very easy to see and not very critical. Don't be afraid, it's very easy,....and cheap. http://compare.ebay.com/like/330391330260?ltyp=AllFixedPriceItemTypes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
