Default braided stainless clutch line ?

Some where air is leaking into the clutch line and while I am replacing the other parts one at a time I thought about replacing the long as clutch hardline with a much shorter and easier to manage bradided stainless line

Since the stock setup has a foot of rubber so I am thinking 3 ft of braided earls should'nt be too bad

any objections ?

you could PM user JDM JON or something like that. he has a "DON'T FEED PHIL" avatar, he is in socal, and does alot of stuff like this. i looked into replacing the two lines from the PV to the MC, simply becuase i just can't deal with hard lines, we don't get along. he was going to charge something like 100 buck's for the two lines, with AN fittings. if thats not his username you ca contact "rodrez" he knows him.. or you can contact flamenco-T, he deals with all kinds of SS stuff

Well actually I have G&J aircraft that I use and they supply lots of different local and national race car teams so getting the hoses made is no problem and they ware super cheap and carry excellent stuff, I was just looking for any for or against comments.

I know when I did my non abs swap everything was koo but I wanted to make sure the clutch line would be the same

Same principles, same good deal. Make sure it's tied away or insulated from anything that it could saw through, like oil cooler, vacuum, coolant lines, electrical insulation etc. Other than that and the usual bleeding blah blah, go for it.

I was looking through the search when I ran across this what ended up happening is using a full stainless clutch line as 1 piece with the fittings and a ruberized black cover all for about 35 bux from GJ aircraft in Ontario CA

The feel is incredibly light so much that I helped pull and inspect a bunch of parts to make sure none were leaking or needed a rebuild

you can add .orig.jpeg for bigger versions

http://www.heeltoeauto.com I just got mine today and I think he's still running a special on them for only 27.50 and this is the Fastline Performance. Awesome customer service and quick shipping too.

this is only replacing the rubber section, the one above also replaces all the hardlines
