Clutch slave cyl. hydraulic line question
Good day,
When removing the slave cylinder hydraulic line, I borked up the fitting so I need to replace it. The fitting looks different than a normal brake line so I want to confirm which type of line to use.
Does anyone know what type of hydraulic line the slave cylinder uses?
Thanks,
Jeff B

Thanks Jason... did you notice the strange shoulder on the threaded portion? That is what I am worried about... otherwise it does look like a bubble flare.
Thanks,

A double flare will work just fine.threads are probably metric so make sure you match them up.also Use a tubing bender spring,you could be carefull and bent it w/o one,but they are very cheap....Also if you find the correct line flared,and fitted and its too long you could just use the spring and shorten the line by making a series of loops.
Something like this:found in the hardware store plumbing isle..I would guess 1/4-3/8 sized for pipe.

Perfect... Thanks.
I ended up getting 10" of 3/16 brake line and two fittings to convert to metric. This is what it ended up looking like (I just used a piece of PVC pipe to make the loops)
