Stainless Braided Clutch Line

[bowdown201]

Seen a few write ups of this and decided to try it today.

What you will need: (Part numbers are from Summit Racing)

(1) pair Male -3 AN to Male 10mm x 1.0 Earls Brake Adapters EAR-592032ERL ($14.69)


(2) steel -3 AN swivel hose ends. Style is up to you.
I used 1 regular hose end - AER-FBM1100 ($5.25) &
1 45deg hose end - AER-FBM1110 ($10.25)


(1) -3 AN braided hose 10ft length. EAR-610003ERL ($29.95)

(NOTE) You probably wont need 10ft of the hose (I only used bout 4 or 5ft.) but Summit was sold out of 6ft so I just got the 10ft


(1) DOT 3 brake fluid - any qty/brand should work

THE INSTALL

Take a 10mm wrench and unscrew the fitting like so..



Install the new 10mm fittings. (NOTE: That notch of the block may get in your way a little but not so bad to where it wont screw in the threads. Just make sure you get it started good)


I then mapped out where I wanted to run the line. I wanted easy access to it so I just ran it over the top of the tranny back behind the T Bracket, behind all the hardline brakelines and over the brake booster.
I had a lot of excess hose so I tapped off where I wanted to cut it and used a punch and hammer to cut it like so..



Install the braided hose to the hose ends. Check this link for install instructions.



Then just run the line where you want it and hook up the hose ends and VOILA!




(NOTE: Remember to bleed you clutch )

they make a kit for my car for $40, so i may go that way. Once the car is running, let us know if you can tell a difference.

EDIT: It's $24, but its only from the resevoir to the master cylinder. I'll be doing this though.

What does changing the hard line out net you? I know on my car they make a replacement for the rubber part, but I don't see a need to replace the hard line.

I believe its pretty much just cosmetic. It looks way better than the hardline and you can maneuver it where you want

a guy i know that works at a place called performanehose here in woodstock makes some cheap lines already put together.
