Anyone know where I can get the line between the clutch master and slave cylinder? I checked LMC, NPD and NAPA and no luck.

Thanks,

Ray

 

Oops, it's a 1960 Ford F-100...minor detail

 

try concoursparts.com

 

Nobody repros them.
Take your old one to brake shop and have them make up a new one.
That's what I had to do.

 

Will do. You're right, I've checked everywhere, even concoursparts.com, and they are not available. I'll find a shop on Monday to duplicate it. Thanks

 

Wierd, I know I have seen one available. Try JobLotAuto.com

 

You can make your own. Go to the parts store and look through their brake parts catalog (if they have one) and find a brake hose about the right length. Usually one from the brake line to the rear axle will work. Then get a couple of short lines with ends on them and buy fittings to connect them to the hoses.

If you make your own and it's a straight line...no problemo...as long as the flared ends of the new line match your original...and sometimes they don't.

If it has bends you'll need a tubing bender. You'll prolly have to cut the line if it's too long, and if the flared ends of the new tube don't match, you'll also need a flaring tool.

 

There will need to be a flexible section in it somewhere, the engine moves around and a solid line will soon fatigue and break. If you can find out the size fittings needed at the ends you can adapt them to -AN fittings and use a braided stainless flex line. -4AN is the right size for a clutch line.

 

i'm looking for the same thing; does anyone know if rubber brake hose would work - maybe with some kind of adaptor for the fittings?

 

i had to do what ax racer said.luckily,i have a friend that builds drag cars and we made my line,with adapters and all it was less than $40.hope this helped.good luck. stony.

 

I'm looking for one also. Went to my local napa store yesterday, they were no help.
The people that work there don't want to go out of there way much.
I'll have to find some place to make one. You think somebody would reproduce these.

I had the same problem when I went to replace the line from the Clutch master to the slave. I used a front brake flexible line and just built a small bracket for each end. The front flex line was off a later model ford with front disk brakes. I chose this flex line because it had fitting on both ends for brackets and steel lines. One bracket is bolted to the bell-housing bolt and has about a three-inch steel line to the slave. The other bracket is bolted to the firewall just below the clutch and brake masters. Then there is a short piece of steel line going to the clutch master. That settup was in use for about 7 years before the truck was torn down for a total restoration. I will be going back to the same method when I get the cab back on the frame.

Here is what I did.Buy a new brake line about a foot longer than you need,Bend to fit slave cylinder and just before it reaches the master rap around a spray can.That will give you some flex for motor movement.I did it and it looks great and works fantistic.That fix cost about 4.00 dollars.
