I forgot the most important part in my last post. Where can I find the hose that goes from the master clutch to the slave. I have check many parts catalogs and have not found one. It there a name other then clutch line that I am missing?

Scott; first off welcome to the orphanage!
If you have the old one you can take it to NAPA or some other parts dealer and find a close match. This hydraulic line has been discussed here before and at that time there was only 3 NOS line found and no one remakes a direct replacement. Some have replaced theirs with hard line adding a couple loops for flexibility.
Good luck in your quest.

Bill, if thats the same one you sent me, it was never found. I spoke with the parts dept. several times. They showed it in the computer, but could not find it on any shelves.

There were three available at one time, now there's only in AR / Dealers webpage updated 11/14/2012.

If this dealer couldn't find it, I wish you had let me know. I would have called, asked them to remove it from Ford Dealer Parts Locator System.

Several other members have contacted me, saying if OP didn't respond within a certain length of time, would I pass along the info.

Yes, thats the one. I guess I should have let you know, to be honest I have been hoping for a call. They said if they found it I would be notified.

I made mine from off the shelf NAPA brake lines and a Double female brake hose that they had to order. I think the hose was about 9" long. Looks pretty much like the original, works perfectly.

Do you have a local place that can make one? I'm in the same predicament. But I have a place nearby called , House of Hose that can make one, but I have an original for them to work with

I just bought parts from NAPA like Mr. Sisson above. Came out perfect. Better than original actually, as I can replace just the hose if it ever fails. I used DOT5 btw and it's working great.

Double female hose sounds like a winner. I may make a bracket on the firewall to mount the union.
