Default t56 clutch hydraulic line

I am about to install a new clutch slave and master cylinder. However i need the steel braided line that connects them. From my research i have found that the t56 on Fbodys has a quick release connection to a AN4 connection. So far the only company i found that sells them is McLeod, However i dont feel like paying 80 dollars for just the line. Is there anywhere else that sells them? I know most master cylinders come with one but mine didnt.

i could also just make one because the steel braided hose is cheap. But where do i get the fittings (AN4 & Quick release) and which thread do i need on the AN4 fitting? Is there a specific crimp i need to make them?

If Mcleod is my only option i might as well buy a whole kit or something from them.

either find someone to sell you a used one or buy the McLeod, IMHO, vs trying to "make" one

and is there a problem using your old one?

i just bought the an line and "T56 Release Bearing to AN3" from speedway..

you need two of these

and one of these

the down fall is you need to disconnect the tranny at the master when you install or remove, you can also buy 2 lines 6" and 20" and coupler to make pulling tranny easier.



please verify the lenght of lines you need in your application as the lengths listed are approximate.

i should add that the fitting resides inside the transmission and you can only use these fittings if you have the tranny pulled..
