Default A custom clutch line?

I would like to create a custom clutch line from the master to slave but not sure how to go about doing it.

Has anyone done this before or have any ideas how to?

It's been done a bunch of times. I did mine with a 7 feet of 3AN SS line and appropriate adapter fittings to attach the line to the slave and master.

You can buy the parts yourself or have a shop make a line for you. Looking back I would have just gone to a hydraulic shop, because they can just crimp the ends on and you don't have to worry about doing all the fittings yourself. I had a shop do a custom line for my Chevy/RX7 and it was only $45

autozone has some lines you can bend with fittings already on them...think a 5' line is $10

^ Same. They also sell hoses with AN fittings already attached.. you'd just need adapters to fit the master and slave.

Also, just run a straight line master-slave. You don't need all the union/damper bullshit that's on there from the factory.

You can definitely write-ups on this site, if you need them..

Even better, if you bring the MC and SC with you, they can make a line that doesn't need the adapters.

Right.. I should've clarified. I meant places like summit/jegs sell the AN hoses.. but after fittings you'd probably be in the hole the same amount as having one custom made, which is why I agreed with ya.

One helpful thing to add... I did it a while ago, but I'm almost positive our master is 12x1 and the slave was 10x1.
