Clutch master to slave hydraulic line??

[Paul Workman]

I need to replace the hydraulic line between the master and slave cylinders on my 90 ZR-1. I tried several to no avail.

I imagine too that a competent hydraulic repair shop would be able to make one, OR maybe I could (with the right parts and tools of course).

Of course, I'd prefer new, AND braided too would be nice. (I tried Jerry's Gaskets web page, but if he's got 'em, his search engine can't find 'em, apparently:(...)

Any recommendations???

I bought one for the 91 at Corvette Central, new and braided.

Just looked and here is what they have for 90. Not sure if this is LT5 specific?

Hey P,

I'm at work now, but I'll send you the part number tonight for the braided one you're looking for. I just bought one. Someone will probably beat me to it.

I think this is one more case where there were changes between 1990 and 1991. 1991 appears to be a SS Braided hose with swedged end fittings and 1990 appears to be a combination two steel pipes and short length rubber hose in between :dontknow:

If this SS Braided hose works on your 1990 Paul......post up :handshak:

Just found out the Full Power Key Switch may be another change between 1990 and 1991. Waiting on that verification for the moment as Kevin and I both successfully refurbished our 1990 Full Power Key Switches which refurbishment does not necessarily apply to 1991 and later ;)

I may have to modify/upgrade..........Differences between 90', 91' and 95' ZR-1s and Engines (http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c4-zr-1-discussion/3005470-tech-info-lt5-modifications-rebuild-tricks-500-hp-6.html#post1583614819)

Well, many thanks for all the leads! I've ear-marked them all for reference.

In the mean time, I might have located one from Summit Racing - which is 1/3 the cost (is $44.xx shipped) of some of these. But, if it doesn't fit, then I won't hesitate to "pull the trigger" for one of these recommendations!

Again, mine is a 1990 - not sure what the difference might be, tho the Dorman slave has the bleeder on the bottom (hallelujah!).

I will "post up" with my findings when parts arrive.

Paul.

You're welcome P! When I had my 90 I upgraded both the line and clutch slave cylinder to later model per both the Doc and Jim J for the bleed purpose. I think both have to be done together.

At that time I had the GM line. If I had another 90 I would upgrade it too.

I'd also go for the post 91 slave and line.
The hydraulic connector on the slave is located in the same position, so I believe you'd be able to use the later style hydraulic line on both 90 and 91. The later style is however much easier to install, as it doesn't have the long steel pipes.
The 90 slave doesn't fit anywhere anymore, as it no longer has the aluminium snap-off bleed screw.

Thanks to all the help on this board, I got 'er done, in spite of having to use the 1990 hydraulic line (long story) after all.

There are some techniques and some particular tools that ultimately were utilized to do the job, and I took some pictures along the way for a future HOTB "how to" article.

Most of the job is figuring out how to contort myself in the proper position to make best use of the tools on hand. But, more on that later.

Had some problems to solve, but got it done. Thanks for everyone's help! More later!

Paul.
