Hate to tell you this, but not even close. The 1500 Midget has a red
plastic tube that goes from the master to the slave. There is a hole in
the battery tray for it to pass through. The fittings on the plastic tube
are flared. I have no idea who made up the lines on your car, but it is
not original. But in the long run might be better. I would guess that the
PO had a plastic tube let go on them and replaced with a PO fitted solid
pipe. The elbow at the slave is right tho. not sure how that individual
connected it - or if thay used a steel tube and bent it.
Knowing full well this didn't help a lot.
