Fabricating clutch line questions

Being that the clutch hardline from the master cylinder to the slave is NLA, looks like I would have to fabricate one. Would anyone happen to know what size heads I need that will screw into the Master cylinder and the clutch softline? I know the hard line can be had at Autozone, I just want to make sure I get the right size. Apparently they rent a tool that helps with bending it as well.

The short clutch hard line that runs from the clutch master to the hydraulic hose at firewall has two 10mm flare nuts with a 1.0 thread pitch

They may be available used for not too much, I'd try that option first.

I'm going to be replacing the soft lines, too, so that will come in handy. I just wish there was a readily available source I could obtain the hard lines from in the clutch system. Going to have to make my own it seems.

Some auto stores (Bap Geon did at some point) have universal hard line sections with flare nuts and bubble or double flares already on the ends. Different lengths are available. You could find one that is close/a little longer and make up any over length by making a loop or zig/zag.

If you bend and flare your own I would buy a quality flare tool and tubing bender and then practice on some spare line first. Double flare takes some skill and the tool at autozone sucked.
