Clutch slave connector hose.

[Ben Swann]

Looking for the hydrulic pressure line that connects to the slave cylinder - 200Q20V
Quattro, but should be same as 5000  431-721-464, 465B or 477.

This may be a dealer only part, but trying to see who else might sell this.  ETKA calls
it a connector hose.

I would have made one up - siubstiotuted brake line/fittings, but is a larger inverse
flare fitting.  If I can make one up, which may be a lot quicker than waiting for a
shipped part, and cheaper - what are the fitting sizes?

I'm still struggling with a workaround on the slave clyinder rod-length issue when I
installed V8 trans in 200Q.  I think I used the wrong pressure plate and was trying a
longer rod.  It may have been that I had a bad hose (balloning) but that does not jibe
with my overall experience.  The hose bursted when I tried a longer  rod - for some
reason the pedal was rock hard, even though I made the rod appropriate length longer to
compensate and most probably not related to the longer rod, unless there is something
else I'm missing..  

Anyway, I know I need the hose, and may need to pull the trans. again to rectify an
underlying problem, so just the facts - where to get the hose for least cost.  This job
has cost more than the car will be sold for if I account the time I have spentm so not
looking to get a dealer hose that will likely cost more than a simple rubber brake hose
ought to.
