Default 3000GT m5, anyone ever work on them?

my brother has a '94 3000GT SL, manual 5 speed. FWD non turbo.

I have not seen the issue he is having, but he keeps calling me for advice.

the issue:
the master clyinder line for the clutch, is a rigid brake line with two end fittings. (not sure of the end fitting(s) size)

he has to replace this line, and I guess its a pain to bend and install. Is their any available pre-bent rigid lines or steel-braided flex lines that will work for this instead of having to fab one up?

any ideas, before i have to go fix his car for him??

thanks

Go to a junkyard and pull the part. Be much easier.

thanks dude, sadly thats the slave line on passenger side of the car.

It come out of the slave and mounts to bracket, then attaches to a rigid hydraulic line that follows the firewall to the master by the clutch pedal..

its a fucked up setup. a direct path from the slave to the master is about 4ft, but because of having to route the rigid line, its about 6 ft.

damn imports.
