[DeTomaso] Line to clutch slave.

I think these are odd ball fittings.  They may not be that easy to find.  Also, the fittings are the opposite ends of the flexible line are not the same, one had a convex cone to mate to the inverted double flare on the hard line, and the opposite end is a concave cone to mate to the slave body.  I found something called a male test fitting which may be thr right one of the slave end.

Our local speed shop, Smiley's, has these fittings.  They sell a lot of
parts to the dirt track crowd, so they have plenty of AN fittings.

I normally buy AN fittings from Summit, but when I need one in a hurry, I
drive to the speed shop.
