are there part numbers for these lines (master to firewall, firewall to slave), i am having the damndest time finding them. The hard lines I have from an original turbo 2 are seized together and it's not looking like they will come apart any time soon (plus i'm fairly sure the rubber firewall -> slave portion is blown out in some capacity).

With that being said, if the part is sparse/expensive, is there a cheaper known working alternative (perhaps stainless steel braided or the like) that will fit without any fabrication? Doesn't have to be exact length, but I'm not 100% sure on the fitting sizing, so I'd rather be safe than sorry and see if anyone has had any luck with aftermarket/alternate forms of hydraulic line.

Thanks!

All the hydraulic fittings in the clutch system (and the brakes as well) are m10 x 1.0.
I deleted the OEM hard/soft line with a one piece generic Russel braided hose, one end screws into the slave cylinder, the other uses a banjo at the master cylinder end.

If you wish to remain stock, Rock Auto sells the rubber hose for $9.

no kidding? Roughly how long does the entire unit come to? I'd like to route it similarly to stock, or at least zip it to the firewall so it's not just dangling next to the motor; did you order a specific unit or just hit a hardware store?

Thanks for the info!

Mine came from a local hot rod shop but Russell stuff is sold everywhere.

You can also make a new hardline. They sell lengths of steel line at Autozone with the ends pre flared and the fittings on them. something like this: AGS Poly Armour/Brake Line PAJX-320- ReadReviews onAGS Poly Armour #PAJX-320 Just be sure to get M10 x 1.0mm inverted flares, also know as a double flare. If you can get lucky and one of their lengths is close to what you need. Use a string to follow all the bends, then measure your string to get your length. Then you just need a bender like this: Performance Tool W704C - Bender | O'Reilly Auto Parts It is some fabrication so to speak but it's not that bad.
