Re: Clutch plumbing (score: 1): Author: "Don Vierling" <Don.Vierling@stago-us.com>; Date: Mon, 21 Jun 2004 10:18:14 -0400; Seems to me you should be able to get straight fittings for splicing that size tubing. Did you try your autoparts store? Try taking a sample to your local plumbing and/or hardware store. (Brake tubi; /html/mgs/2004-06/msg00415.html (8,219 bytes)

As for brake plumbing, I think the 3 flexible rubber hoses would be much weaker links in the chain than any solid coupling you might have to put; /html/mgs/2004-06/msg00419.html (9,231 bytes)

But, my point was, the idea is you aren't supposed to ADD any more points of failure than are strictly necessary. Adapters aren't the issue.

Re: Clutch plumbing (score: 1): Author: "Don Vierling" <Don.Vierling@stago-us.com>; Date: Mon, 21 Jun 2004 14:50:38 -0400; I agree, I wouldn't want to have any more joints in the plumbing than necessary! Clutch plumbing is simpler though, so I thought maybe a coupler would be of some help. I'm not sure I understand the o; /html/mgs/2004-06/msg00425.html (8,806 bytes)
7. RE: Clutch plumbing (score: 1): Author: "Marc Siegel" <smarc@abs.net>; Date: Mon, 21 Jun 2004 15:33:07 -0400; Well, the first reason is probably my lack of plumbing skills, the second reason was lack of clearance to actually snake a properly bent pipe in, or out for that matter. I can't snake the old one out; /html/mgs/2004-06/msg00427.html (9,647 bytes)

But it does run from one side of the engine compartment to the other, so there is all kinds of stuff in the way.

Seems to me you should be able to get a fitting to couple two flared pipe ends together. As; /html/mgs/2004-06/msg00429.html (8,021 bytes)

RE: Clutch plumbing (score: 1): Author: "James Nazarian" <jhn3@uakron.edu>; Date: Mon, 21 Jun 2004 22:35:17 -0400; I have to admit, I've never changed that pipe with the engine in, but I have spliced the one on the V8 as it got a metal shard into the MC fitting and gouged it.
