Subject:Anyone know how to fix a stripped hydrolic hose fitting that goes to the clutch master cylinder ??
From:Phil S.
Date:Tue, 24 Sep 2002 19:45:33 -0700

And another problem arrives, i must have stripped the
metal hydrolic hose fitting apon removal from the
master cylinder....since the metal line is bent to fit
snug againts the Master Cyl. i pulled on it too hard
thinking it was off the threads. Its ruined...cant
find a part in the Bus-boys catalog OR Bus Depot.

Does anyone know where i can get this metal hydrolic
hose very fast?...i got hit by a car today while
riding my bike and its hard to walk since his bumper
nailed my knee!

Thanks for everyones help so far

PS, How do the Germans adjust the Pushrod?,, the
Bentley gives it two "wrenches" which means "easy
job/simple tools"....they must use microscopic robot
octopuses.
