I was forced to figure out how since the stock system would not bleed. This will work on the 284 hydraulics and probably the 282. I got pics of it around somewhere, will post when i find them.
The reason for welding a male piece to the cylinder fitting (instead of a female and cutting out the F-F adapter) is cause when you weld it the threads will get residue on them and possibly be warped some. A female fitting is very hard to re-thread when you have such a short hole, the male fitting only takes a wire wheel.
Materials:
1 iron/steel M-M 1/8" NPT extension (looks like a pipe with threaded ends)
2 F-F 1/8" NPT adapter
2 1/8" NPT to -3AN adapters
3' of SS brake line hose (the Russell brand is Powerflex I think), only really need just over half of it.
2 -3AN -3AN hose ends
-Take the hydrualics off the MC and slave, all that is holding them in is a pin that needs punched out. Cut the plastic hose off and discard.
-Cut approximately 1/2" to 3/4" off the end of the 1/8" extension, when slipped onto the old plastic pipe nipple it should be as long as the nipple. Taper the end that you cut.
-The fun part, weld the piece of extension onto the steel slave/MC fitting. I don't think that anything other then a torch will work that well. All the welding that needs to be done has to be on the inside, can't be surface welded because where you are welding has to fit inside the MC or slave cylinder. Not to mention that what you are welding is very small.
-Teflon tape and put the F-F adapter and the -3AN piece on the fitting
-Cut and assemble hose
