They do not have any banjo bolts in stock.
They do not have hte Russell fittings in stock, and they are on backorder till May 11th.
The guy who helped me was an idiot - he couldn't find the fitting I needed.
If you break down and must have the Russell fitting, Russell will sell to you if you call them directly. For some idiotic reason, they always get backordered to their vendors, but you can always call them up and buy the part directly. Stupid, but 99% of the time, it's true (and lame as ****).
If you find a fitting, lemm know - I would love to find a fitting with -3 AN (male) on one side and a GM Quick connect on the other
would make my life hella easier right now.
Oh - I also found out that the 36" line says "10mm or 3/8 banjo" because it will work using eihter/or, not because you have a choice of one or the other end fitting.

I ask because at this point, my entire drivetrain is in place, the engine is started, the wheels are spinning, and the only thing stopping me from driving is ... no MC.
The last thing I want to do now is drop the transmission to unbolt the slave cylinder, pop out a tension pin, insert a fitting, then mount the tranny again and ... heh, yeah.
It's a lot of work....I would honestly rather adapt from (-3 AN to quick disconnect ) so I don't need to drop the tranny.
I might order the Russell fitting today, depending whether or not I can find an affordable fitting that matches that description online.

At Summit Racing's site this is part number RUS-640281.
You will need to pull your slave cylinder, push out the tension pin on the quick connect extension, remove the quick connect fitting, insert the Russell fitting, reinsert the tension pin, and then reassemble the slave cylinder and reinstall the tranny, if I understand right.
See this thread:

The silver thing is what the Russell fitting looks like. You can see the dot for the tension pin in the second picture, and the fitting installed.

Big thanks to everyone. This thread has made the 4L60E to T56 swap in my Miata much easier. The Wildwood mounted on a plate works flawlessly & the threads on the Wildwood piston are correct for the Miata clutch pedal connector as well.
I'm probably going to cut the stock quick coupler on the slave cylinder & thread the remaining rod end & then JB weld an NPT to -3AN or a flare fitting to it. This will keep me from having to waiting until the end of May for a Russell fitting. I've called several vendors & that fitting is elusive. Although, the use of the Russell fitting was a great find & a good solution; well done.
It'll be a couple of weeks yet before the swap is finished. Can't wait to drive it.

just call Russell directly. I gaurantee they will have the fitting in stock at their own warehouse and you will have it by friday - no cutting or JBWelding involved.
trust me - i had the same problem with my fuel rail fitting. Summit was backordered for months and so was Jegs and every other internet retailer....Russell acted nonchalant, said they had several dozen in stock and didn't know why the retail outlets didn't have any
i don't understand that company at all....

Yeah they are and so is about every other online store. You'll have to either try and call russell for the fitting. Or order it from summit and they will ship it out on the date they have listed when you purchase it.

Kamin, If you are just getting your ducks in a row and not in an immediate need for it, just order the one from Summit. Thats what I did, and it got here in about a month but I still have yet to actually need it.

well unfortunately since russell is out of the fitting, its going from ordering the part, to figuring out another method haha. im on a time constraint that is becoming tighter and tighter every day. ive got 3.5 weeks to get it done. if its not, its not a huge deal. because i know the rule dont rush and do it right. but if a 22$ part is gonna hold me up for 2 weeks im gonna be kinda pissed.
you arent using yours? can i buy it? hahaha
