Default Stainless Steel Clutch Line

Has anyone managed to find an SS line to replace both the hard and soft line?

I need to replace my hard line and rather just make it all SS from the master to the slave.

I can't seem to find anyone who makes them.

If anyone did a custom line you wouldn't happen to have noted the length?

Thanks!!

just place the rubber one, or else your brake feel is going to get softer.

I know the current setup is more than adequate.

The hard line is corroded internally. It needs to be replaced so I may as well replace it all since the whole system could be compromised.

It's a long story . I just don't feel like routing a new hard line in and cleaning out the soft line. A single SS line direct from the MC to SC is the easiest option.

Have you ever ran a pre bent clutch line before? It's a pain in the ass

Thanks for the comments but I am going to install an SS line directly from the MC to the SC.

I just want to know if anyone has bought a premade one or if they did custom how long was it.

edit never mind,

i think your best best is to go to an auto parts store and a 6-8 foot universal hard brake lines and bend it like oem,

thats what i did with my integra with i did it auto to manual.

Thats too much work. I want to replace the hard and soft line since it's probably contaminated.

The best option is to replace the whole thing with one SS line. Why fiddle wihth a hard line and a soft line when i can do the whole thing much easier with one SS line?

You'll need to find metric flare to -3AN hose adapters to make it all work.

Ya... you can have them custom made no problem.

I haven't gone out to measure a good route to determine the length.

I'm just trying to be lazy. But considering how this thread is going I'm thinking I may have to step it up and measure LOL

Probably a good idea.
