Clutch Slave Cyl Hose

[CSLRich]

Hi, as part of my refurb I'm renewing the hydraulics for brakes and clutch.

On my 1972 RHD CSL, fluid flows from the clutch master via rigid pipework in the engine bay, connects to a short hydraulic hose then into clutch slave, which has an outboard mechanism to activate the arm.

I ordered a new hydraulic hose but now it's arrived it has a two female fittings whereas I need 1 female (to rigid pipework) and 1 male (into slave cyl). I can easilly get a screw in adapter but I need to know the thread, eg 3/8 UNF, M10x1 etc. Anyone got any idea as to thread size ?

ps I apologise in advance if any 13 yr olds are reading this, I know my kids would be laughing out loud at any post containing the words rigid, slave, master, female to male etc etc...

Clutch Hose

I think the hose you need is 352 MM, if so that's just shy of 14". If you have a VW supplier close by there's a brake hose used on the front of Beetle's 1968 and later
(part # 113 611 701D) that will likely work. This hose is male/female and 15" long.
