I suggest using a braided-stainless dash-4 AN line, and that thread 
(7/16-20 SAE) is a virtual duplicate of the stock metric hard-line connection. They 
should screw together with your fingers; if you are the worrying type, add 
a viton o-ring between the metric junction block down below and the AN 
fitting. On the clutch slave, there are many, all threaded   differently. I 
suggest getting a pipe-to-dash-4 AN fitting and doing what you must to make it 
fit the slave you have. U.S- made long-throw slaves & CNCs are usually SAE 1/8 
or 1/4 pipe thread. 
There's really no advantage to using a dash-3 here, in contrast to the 
brakes, as the hydraulic- quickness afforded by dash-3 components in your clutch 
system will be offset by the stock slowness of your ZF synchros in 
shifting,   so there's no gain but much adaption needed, with possible leaks. Good 
luck- J Deryke
