That stainless hose is likely a dash-4 Aeroquip or a lookalike. If so, a 
double male dash-4 aeroquip fitting (threaded 5/16-18 SAE ) will screw right into 
the brass junction block where you remove the red plastic hose. On the 
stainless long-throw slave, it probably takes a 1/8" pipe fitting in it with a dash-4 
AN thread on the other end of that fitting to scrw onto theother end of the 
hose. Assume you will have to readjust everything including the splines on that 
little bellcrank lever to fit the long-throw properly, bleed the slave and 
you should be good to go for the foreseeable future, clutch-hydraulics-wise. 
Good luck- J Dryke
