Main British Car:
Hose from Stock TR6 Master Clutch to Hydraulic T/O Bearing

Thanks to everybody for sharing their knowledge. I am looking for a steel braided line to go from the stock TR6 clutch master cylinder to a Ram throw out bearing for my BW T5. Does anybody know the fitting size on the clutch master cylinder or know where I can get a line that will fit? I purchased a line from D&D for my MGB but I do not know if the cluth master cylinder fitting size is the same as the TR6. Any help would be greatly appreciate!!!

If the TR master cylinder uses a fitting that accepts a standard type British bubble flare you can use a -4 AN male bulkhead union to make the transition. The 37 degreen angle of the AN fitting will seal very well in a bubble flare fitting. Use the jamb nut to lock it in place on the master cyinder and then you can attach a standard AN line directly to that. Here's a photo of my use on my Midget's clutch cylinder, worked fine for 13 years without at leak.

I tried using my stock clutch master on my 1971 TR6 and I couldn't operate the Tilton hydraulic throwout bearing on my Tremec T5. I called Tilton and they said our stock bore was too small. I don't know about Ram.

I bought a new Wilwood master for $50 and everything works. This would solve your British flare issue and allow you to use standard American lines. Plus you wouldn't have to trust a 40 year old part.

I agree with Motek, unless you know that your master cylinder can supply sufficient volume or pressure, or both(whichever they are concerned with), I'd try to replace the whole thing, they are pretty cheap and available in different bores to ensure you're moving enough fluid. Ram tech might be able to give you specs on what size you'd need.
