Hydraulic clutch fittings

[Mikey_P]

OK, now I have enough fittings but have another question. The fitting to the left of the blue one is fine where the line comes in but seems to be a pipe fitting on the other end.

Does this connection look OK?

the double flare is not the same as NPT the pitch is different and the thread per inch too and the blue one is a npt to JIC fitting which is also called a AN @ 37*
your double flares are 45*
becareful some threads are close and going into al it will cross thread, even a compression thread is different.

may want to go with a flex hose on the slave and not a hard line.
google XRP they have a nice PDF file and you can find a npt 90* to JIC for the hose

The line is flex line except for the last 3" and that is just to make the transition.

The AN side of the blue fitting fits into the flex line. It is a AN fitting also so no issue there.

If I had a fitting like the blue one with a AN on one side and a 45* on the other I would not even need a hard line at all. I just have not been able to fine such a fitting.

Hope that explains it a little better.

Do a google search for "AN to pipe adaptor" - they're out there - would make your install much cleaner/simpler...

The fitting going into the slave is a 45* double flare fitting, so I need a 37* on one side and a 45* on the other side. That way it is just one fitting between the flex line and the slave.

Keep it simple. Assuming you flex line is -3:

Got it - That's a bit trickier - we need a "hose pro" to chime in - I'm sure there's a suitable fitting out there somewhere...

OK - here is the hose pro analysis: I'm pretty sure the slave has a 1/8" NPT inlet port. (throw the existing 90 ell away) and you have an AN-3 or -4 hose. Use a 1/8" NPT by AN-3 (or AN-4) 90 degree elbow. Screw the 1/8" NPT end of the ELL directly into the slave inlet port. Connect the AN hose directly to the AN end of the ELL. I know this seems very complicated for some but it's not.

Nope I got it. I think I know where I can get the fitting locally too. Thanks and I'll let you know how it goes.

any local hose shop should have it. 2501-03-02

OK I am a dumbass. I never thought about taking off the fitting on the slave cylinder. Guess what, the blue fitting threads right in! With the u-turn fitting supplied with the line I think it will all work out. I hope this helps somebody else.

Thanks everybody for the suggestions, it made me look closer at what I had.

Ain't it nice when a plan comes together!!

Good job.
