I am swapping a Toyota 3TC engine and 5 speed transmission into a 1966 MG Midget.
I have ran into a snag. A wench in the works so to speak. Unless I want to open up even more of the passenger footwell the hose coming off the slave cylinder just won't bend enough to clear and would rub on the side of the footwell.
I have been looking for a 90 degree elbow so the hose would point towards the front of the car instead of off to the side. The threads on the slave are 1.00mm x 10mm. I would need a male end to screw into the slave and a female end for the hose to screw into. I have searched for hours online and found only one company in China that makes one. They claim to have distributors worldwide but don't identify their distributors. Summit racing has a "T" fitting with all female threads which might work and Summit also has a 90 elbow with a 1.00 mm x 10 mm male end and a 3/8 female pipe thread.
I could buy a chunk of brass or aluminum and make one. I also have steel on hand that I could make one out of too. Before going to that trouble to make one I thought you guys might know where I could buy one.
Suggestions please.
