Default What length line on T-56 slave cylinder line

Hey guys, Has anyone else measured the length of slave cylinder line for their T-56/LS1 setup on a V8R car? I'm using a slightly different MC and checking the length of line one would need for the slave.

Cheers,

Nick

I measured roughly precisely 30", which matches a McLeod part for the slave. Any input, let me know, thanks!

Darn, Id check for ya but Im gone for the weekend. I will say my speed bleeder reaches just past the m/c and would be the right length, whatever that may be.

Blah blah blah, not sure this helps you any...

Do you have a speed bleeder with check valve, or just an extension hose with regular bleeder?

48 in speed bleeder is my thought, so I can do it from in the car.

I will measure soon, when my slave comes in. I did the a kit from sumit and Speedway, different MC ,just need lines now

Might be the same one I'm running. I need to find the end for it.

Speed Bleeder Sizes

I'm taking measurements later today, just need to make the adapter for my Master cylinder. I'm doing my own clutch setup so have to figure it out piece by piece...

However, I really like the Master I found. Its just another Wilwood, but its smaller, anodized, and has a much smaller footprint. Nice option.

I got the whole setup in the box today, will be making the adapter and taking some measurements. I suppose when I finish I'll do a parts list breakdown w/cost. Other than the different size/color, what I've found is that V8R's kit is pretty much no more expensive than you can do yourself, maybe $10-20.

Hooray, I got my answer. Mcleod Line is 31," I went with 36" just to add some wiggle room. My bleeder is also 36" and it works perfectly for it. Ran the Banjo fitting at the master, 4oz reservoir, and all set.

I'll do a separate post on that and some other stuff later.
