[DeTomaso] Line to clutch slave.

[Ken Green]

Dave,
 
   It looks right.  Maybe I should order 3 (you, Chuck, and me) and if it fits my line, mail them to you and Chuck. 
 
   How long is your braided stainless line?

Looks like it might be this one from the kstbrakehose site Ken.
KFAA-05
    
7/16 " x 20NF
    
M12 x 1.0

It would go into the joint in the slave line beside the oilpan.
The end u p at the slave is fine.
