New clutch line from Re-speed

I wanted to post a few pictures of my new stainless clutch line on my sa. I also wanted to thank Sam at re-speed to take the time to make me a custom line. There are a few companies that offer stainless clutch lines for fb's, but nothing for sa's. Sam found the proper ends and made me a high quality line, absolutely no issues installing it. It goes to show the excellent customer service Re-speed offers.

Here are the pictures, the line looks great under the hood.

Your welcome

The clutch line has been added to our website now for the SA cars. Certainly looks good!

Is that a second gen strut bar your running thats clearing your alternator?

It looks just like mine. I'm thinking of putting my alternator back up top and it looks like yours fits ok.

Did you have to do anything special to make it all fit?

Thats a nice line Sam did up for you. Can we order that from ReSpeed now?

while im here... and not meaning to thread jack.. but does anyone know the size of the copper crush washers needed for all the clutch and brake lines? I'd assume that the sa and fb ones are the same?

10mm. I got one out of a Nikki rebuild kit. But a parts store will probably have some in that size. I know they have 14mm which is our oil pan drain bolt size.

The line and pricing is now on the respeed website. The rad is made by Autopwr, I bought it on ebay last year. My slave is a new Mazda part. I had installed a slave from Rockauto, and it didn't last a year, so I decided to buy an oem one.

It is a second gen strut bar. To make it fit, I had to put 3/8" spacers between the top of the strut tower and the bottom of the strut bar plate. I put one over each bolt. That only gives me about 3/8" clearance between the alt pulley and the bar with stock belts (13320 size). I want to get a couple 13315 size belts, which will give me more clearance.s
