    Clutch Hydraulics Upgrade Kit from DPI (1 main line front to back) ?

    Anyone on here running this Upgrade Clutch Hydraulics Kit from DPI ?
    https://deloreanindustries.com/delor...lics-complete/

    It features a beefy (Wilwood) Clutch Master Cyl w/fully adjustable quick release clevis and SS Bradided lines, SS reservoir and high quality fittings.

    Curious if others got the long length braided line to reach from front clutch master cyl to back clutch slave cyl ?
    I'm short by 2".... I ran line alongside rubber hose from Brake Master Cylinder along frame on driver's side to back rear trailing arm area.

    I've read that others who upgraded the original stock black (plastic) clutch line over to SS braided line took the standard clutch hardline that connects above tranny on bracket and straigthened line and connected it directly to SS line to create a seemless 1 line from from to back.

    It sure would be great to just have 1 main clutch line between clutch master and slave.... wondering if running the line through the center of car and shift linkage in back would provide a tad more length ?? That's the way the original stock black (plastic) clutch line ran.

    Photos of what I'm talking about:

    you can see clutch line cable (blk) hanging on 1st pic..shy of about 2" from reaching slave.
    Was told by DPI that you must run the additonal clutch line/junction above tranny....

    Thinking there's got to be a way to use a (-4AN) male to female coupling to connect up without having to tie in another hose?

    I'd call DPI and troubleshoot, my guess is you have the clutch lines routed the wrong way. Also, I could be wrong but isn't the black braided line supposed to connect the clutch master cylinder to the reservoir?

    Hi Dan

    Spoke to Josh @ DPI... they can possibly use 1 hose only for future hydraulic clutch line kits and eliminate transmission junction and extra line up there.

    For now it's got to be used.

    I ran the cable the right way alongside the vacuum booster hose on drivers side frame....

    All the DPI clutch lines have a black outside coating now... photos on website showing SS outside are older models I believe.

    Thanks
