Re: clutch line needed

I wouldn't bother with used clutch parts. How long can they last? If yours failed, why shouldn't any other old line/cylinder? When I first bought my Fiero the clutch line was rotted out... I just patched it by cutting out the bad spot under the car and running a new section of line from the master to the good part of the old line. For the best possible fix - if your Fiero is in great condition, you are restoring it to be that way, or you just want to keep it for a long, long time, I would reccomend pulling the whole line out and replacing it with a new stainless steel one. To do so, take the old line to an auto parts store and they will assist you in getting the right size brake line (Fiero clutch actuator systems use regular high pressure hydraulic brake line) and new brass fittings (and unions if you are just patching) . Most chain stores like AutoZone have tube cutters, double flaring tools and line bending tools for you to make the patch line or complete line yourself. You pay for the tool by cash or credit card and get all of your money back if you return the tool in the same condition. Most shops that do brake work, and a few parts stores as well, can bend you an all new line using the old one as a pattern. It'll cost you, but it is easier then the DIY route. As far as a master cylinder goes... they are expensive new, but unreliable used. Why not rebuild and get new dependability at the used price? Rebuild kits cost way less, and it's not as hard as you think. The only special tools you need are snap-ring pliers and a brake cylinder hone. You can buy both at a discount auto or tool store with a mere $10 bill.
