Wilwood Clutch Master Line adapter

[mferris]

Help me identify what I need to buy.

I'm replacing the clutch master with a Wilwood (see pic). I'm not familiar with line fitting/end terms - but I need a new adapter to allow the existing clutch line (purchased from SS) attach to the new Wilwood master.

In my language - I'm looking for an female adapter which will accept a male line end, but the Wilwood came with an adapter made for a female line end.

(and I know that I should use a 5/8" bore master - but I already have the .7 bore so I'm going to try it first)

To clarify i have a stock (new, but stock) Slave a new line from the slave to the master, and want to attach the stock line to the master cylinder. I went to O'Reilly (Napa seems to be closed here now) - and I *believe* I need a master cylinder female adapter - but going to: http://www.wilwood.com/LineKits/LineKits2.aspx
leaves me lost.

I would just have the old master rebuilt at White Post in Va,

Thanks George - I'll find them. I was looking for the cheapest solution to get this thing going by just getting an adapter.

Following ...
I am in the same boat with a wilwood master on order , planning on a braided line to the slave

Looking at your pictures, it looks like the stock one is a (bubble flare) and the Wilwood is a (double flare) The easy fix is to just double flare the line you have. I would just use a flare tool and double flare the line you have, 5 minute job.
I have a Wilwood on my series 2, I also had to enlarge the firewall center hole a little.

Master

Most Master Cylinders from Wilwood are inverted flare as you describe, however some are 1/8x27 npt you can use a -3 union and change the nut to a female and reflare the end of your line or the trick way is to use a SS -3
an line (like brakes )and have a flexible line which gets rid of the problems of a hard line, and Wilwood Master Cylinders are way cheaper than having one re done in the case of the Girling style Masters there throw away!

Here are a couple fittings I have found:
Brake Master Cylinder “line†(NK351 3/16x51†SAE) to Hydraulic block purchased from Greenwood Auto Parts with two (2) Fittings Edlemann 272330 (3/16x3/16).

Clutch Master Cylinder “line†(NK ) to Clutch Slave cylinder purchased from Greenwood Auto Parts with one (1) fitting Edlemann 272340 (3/16x1/4) and one (1) Edlemann 272330 (3/16x3/16).

AND if they don't work search the Edlemann parts lists in about any good local parts supplier.

I have some for the Wildwood Master (Haven't found them this morning) yet. Will post asap,

Here is the fitting.....

I used to adapt my Wilwood master.

Trying to figure the part number.

Thanks Dan. At least that gives me a place to start - the O'Reilly that I walked into here had many, many empty slots in their fittings boxes. I'll have to continue the search, for timeliness I've ordered online.

I'll start there for $10 and see what happens.

Found the P/N

I utilize an Edlemann Part Number 272330 3/16x3/16 fitting for the Wilwood Master.

Also, on the tee for the brake fitting on the inside fender well I use (272330 and an Edlemann 120300 3/16 fitting to plug the extra hole when not used. Like on one of my V6 Conversions where I re-routed the brake lines around and in front of the crossmember.

Thanks Dan - I've ordered a 272330 (and 40 for kicks) and that will hopefully allow me to connect my Wilwood master to the existing clutch line (already connected to a new stock slave).
