So I was changing my clutch master cylinder and realized that the whole for the clutch line is slightly smaller on my new cmc than on the old cmc. I cant screw in the plug as its slightly larger and doesnt fit into the whole. I ordered my cmc online, any recommendations on how I can get around this? Most auto parts are closed this weekend as its thanksgiving here and I was wondering what I could do. Any thoughts?

Short of having someone fabricate an adapter pipe (meaning you'd have to rebend/modify your oem pipe, which is stupid), you should just put up with waiting to buy the correct one, and return the wrong one. Not the greatest help, but the most sane/sensible help.

 

No realistic way around waiting for the correct part, unless you have a flaring kit and a new fitting.

What gets larger as you take more from it?

This is a first I've seen where a CMC has a different diameter....Did you by chance run a stainless steel clutch line?
