4age adm t50 clutch line clearance

[keimeier]

Car - ke70

motor - 4age

problem - clutch line clearance between exhaust manifold?

occurs/started when - fitting engine

personal situation - dropped the 4a in yesterday and dummied up the exhaust manifold and found a problem due to clearance between manifold and clutch line going to slave(as seen in pics). removed the rubber line and made fit the best i could without fucking up the line too much.

is this enough clearance?
will the fluid heat up and thin/cook?

cheers

pm sam-Q for adm clutch line fix so it doesnt over heat unsure if it gives a little more clearance

[keimeier]

thanks ae86 yeah ive seen them someone pointed it out to me last night but budget is getting abit out of control..

[ae86]

its certainly not something you want to cheap skate out on but guess its your build your choice

i bought a braided clutch line with banjo fitting off sam-q, and it gives much more clearance. if you dont wanna fork out the coin for the braided line, just heatwrap the secondaries, should help a bit i guess

i got this made up by my local hydraulic shop.

about 60$ i think

banjo fitting to get it 90 degrees angle.

thanks for the help guys.

yeh think i will just heat wrap the secondries and see how that goes if not can always buy braided line off samQ or have one made up

[Sam-Q]

thanks khoala

keimeier watch out for not only the heat but work hardening

[Hen may possibly be a nut]

You need something flexible in your clutch line from body to box as your engine moves around a surprising amount in use. Rubber or braided. I got a banjo and rubber line made up at a brake place for not much.

samQ sorry what do you mean by work hardening? ill send you pm soon as i have bit of spare cash for line
