Not a place for cutting corners, IMO.  However, you could swap the brake &
clutch MC; as losing the clutch line is much less of a safety concern.

I forget the size offhand, but they are standard SAE threads.  You'll
probably want a 'bottoming' tap though, and possibly grind the end down a
bit, so it doesn't cut into the conical seat inside the MC (which is where
the actual sealing takes place).
