All I can say is good luck. I had to buy a complete master cylinder, with line, just because I had a broken line at the connector. I couldn't find just the line anywhere.

What I used was a Russell part # 640281 fitting that I bought from Summit.They come in a pack of 2 so you can use one on both the SC and the MS end of the line. I also used a -3 an Earl's Teflon lined brake line. I think the total was about $35-$38 to go this route.

Theres many ways to skin this cat.
1. Use the fitting below.
Part# MCL-139026

2. Mcleod sells a ss line with the fitting on one end. These are usually on back order.See pic below.
Summit part # MCL-139204-23
Jegs part # 673-139204-03

3.Buy a used master cylinder, take it to a hydraulic shop and have them crimp the fitting to the hose you want.(cheap and actually works)

Do a search in the manual transmission section. I remember reading that someone took off that snap-in fitting and replaced it with an AN type fitting that they had crimped to the hose.
