question about ss clutch lines

[ADrewzki]

I've seen the lines that rre and slowboy offer. I was wondering if there's a way to put ss clutch line from the master clutch cylinder all the way to the slave and not just the little part down by the tranny. Has anyone heard of this? Would it be a good idea or not? I've seen a few places online sell braided ss clutch/brake lines for $2/ft and if you could put connectors on it, I think it might be kinda cool. Thanks.

No point in replacing the hard line unless its cracked or broken. Your only replacing the rubber line because it flexes under load. Our hard lines cant flex

^ ^ ^ Yeh, no point. The main purpose of the SS line is to get rid of that bizarre accumulator thing.

I still want to know how it's supposed to do anything. Or was science lying to us about that whole incompressiblity of fluids story?

Yeah, I know. I had to take off my master cylinder and the stupid pipe thread wouldn't come out. Ended up stripping it totally round plus some gouges where my vice grips grabbed it. Finally just took a dremel and cut the damn pipe and took it out that way. I ended up putting another piece of brake line and then hookie the two together using some rubber tubing and worm clamps. It seems pretty solid for now until I can finish the job up right. That's why I was asking. Getting a nice piece of ss line might be easier than buying a 4ft long piece of brake line and having to bend it. Thanks tho.
