Default LS3 conversion hydraulic clutch fitting

Good afternoon all,

I have been working a little bit fitting up the hydraulic clutch master cylinder today and came across an issue with the fitting I got to hook the master cylinder up to the hose that goes down to the clutch.

I bought the recommended Wagner master cylinder and the fitting I got (12mm x 1.0 Bubble Flare Male) seems to bottom out before the bubble end makes contact. Do I trying to plug the hole in the master cylinder and chop off about an 8th inch or do I try to find a fitting with longer threads. Ideally it would have the correct fitting going into the master cylinder and have a -4 ANfitting on the other side but I cannot find that anywhere.

Scott

Get a longer fitting..any chopping will pretty much guarantee a leak.
