help with aftermarket clutch line
 
Hey guys I had a custom 1 piece clutch line made to clean up my engine bay but ran into a snag. Both thread fittings for the clutch master and slave are M10x1.0, for the clutch master I had a 90 degree male with swivel end made and the clutch slave side a straight male with swivel. The 90 degree at the clutch master fits nice and snug however the slave side fits loose with the fitting completely tightend. While taking a closer look I noticed the direction of the flare section does not match the flare inside the slave. After visiting a few local hydraulic shops no one was able to help. Can anyone point me in the correct direction to get this made or the "actual terminogly of the kind of flares or bango fittings I will need to make this work.

For pre-made rx7 clutch lines are made to use the pre bent hard lines that are in the engine bay which I do not want to use as a 2 piece.

Here's a picture of the line I had made

What you need are 10mm x 1.0 inverted flare fittings.
European cars use a bubble flare, which won't work.

Thanks for the help, I looked up pictures of the inverted flare and I noticed there's a male and female flare, my aftermarket line has a female and so does the clutch slave. I'm going to call a few hydraulic shops and see if they can modify my line with a male flare, if not I have a few 10mm to -3 AN adapters I can use and just order a -3an line.

I ended up ordering a russell -3 AN pre made line for less than $30. I have plenty of metric to AN adapters.
