I am trying to order up custom stainless braided lines but the supplier and I are getting hung up on how to choose the right end fitting for the clutch slave. It's a pretty snug S bend around that cover to reach the hole, with little clearance to be wrong by more than 1/8th inch.
Does anyone have pics in their galleries of an aftermarket fitting, with close ups?

If someone wants to see any images I refer to in posts, first check my gallery here. If no bueno, send me a PM. More than glad to share.

Order a line from RPM...... Guaranteed to fit.

If you want Spiegler lines (they are the best IMHO) +1 for RPM. It's the easiest way to do it.

Back in the olden days before RPM became a Spiegler dealer, I ordered my lines directly from Spiegler. I paid full list price.
RPM offers these same lines for less than the Spiegler list price, so now I recommend RPM.

FYI if you want to see the various Spiegler fittings, scroll down to see all the 10mm banjo fittings. https://spieglerusa.com/standard-line
I'm going by memory, but I think I used fitting # 040 for the clutch slave.
The fittings can be rotated (clocked) so you can be sure to get any twist out of the line.

Hope this helps

I ended up using a spacer with the standard offset and double Banjo,

It got me out of trouble because I already had the braided line

LOL! Have you any idea how many clicks it took to download the PDF and see that pic?  :smile:

That's a nice clear image and confirms another pic I found so that's the way I'm going. Thanks.
If it's OK with you, I've posted your image inline so other readers see what you contributed.

Graphics and Acrobat are ma thang, y'all.

Little question: what is that spacer/collar between the fitting and the slave? I noticed that after I posted up the picture. I have an almost identical example as yours but no spacer (see image).

The spacer came from where I got braided lines, had to get it sent after trying to fit lines and finding this problem.

Mine would've fitted the same as yours but what it covered was Slave mounting Bolt  :negative:,

that's why I needed spacer so I could take off Slave if required without draining fluid  :i_am_so_happy:
