Boyd, it isn't that difficult to rethread an aluminum 1/4" pipe-to-dash-4 
AN fitting to 12x 1.0 metric on the pipe thread end of the fitting, or to 
rethread your clutch master's outlet hole to 1/4" pipe. In both cases, I would 
recommend using pipe thread sealant on any pipe threads to positively seal 
at the low (max ~300 psi) used in our clutch systems. This then allows a 
dash-4 AN line (flexible ss or a hard line) to be used. Note that some 
replacement masters use different, more accessible thread sizes here. Good luck- J
