Thanks, Dave. They were discussing the flexible line only at the caliper; hard line everywhere else.

On the Porsche forums, some discourage the use of braided brake lines, as they can contribute to a soft pedal due to expansion. My application is of course for the clutch line, so I don't know if the lower pressures would even be a factor. Again, 53" is pretty long.

On my current setup, I have a steel hard line from a 0.75" clutch master to the firewall/bulkhead. From there, I have a 53" long braided stainless line (hose) to the clutch slave on an 01e transaxle. I seem to be getting less travel than what I might expect at the slave. Though the master/slave...

Dave, Standard 01E; bellhousing is machined that way from the factory. PM me if you have specific questions. Andy

Roger/Chris, My setup is a QuarterMaster button flywheel and clutch assembly. I utilized the standard 01E slave and allowed the release bearing to ride against the clutch fingers with the spring load built into the slave. I'm using the radius faced release bearing with an adapter to fit it to...

Steve, I made those some years ago. Can't say who might offer such adapters, but perhaps the guys in AUS or NZ, where the 01e seems to be quite popular in their GT40's, may know. Andys

As did I. Audi 01E tripoid to Porsche. Andys

Good point, Scott. The QuarterMaster setup mentioned in my post is rated at 500 ft/lbs. Andy

Chris, Just a few thoughts: The QuareterMaster pressure plate will require a spherical faced throw out bearing. The one in your photo is flat faced. Last I looked, the input shaft spline is not quite long enough to completely engage the QuaterMaster and Tilton dual disc setup, though...

My 01e has a plastic slave cylinder retained by a single bolt. The body of the slave has a rubber sleeve where it enters the bellhousing. Remove the bolt and slide the metal the metal retainer off, twist the slave slightly to clear the retaining step on the transaxle, and it should pull right...

Darrin, Although not in a GT40, I used that Celica shifter (somewhat modified) for the 01E. It has an adaquate enough gate for a 6 speed application, IMO. The photo is how I configured the linkage at the transaxle. Andy

Or if you're lucky, the transmission part number will be printed on a long narrow label affixed to the top of the housing i.e. 01E 300 047K; When cross referenced, the code is FRK. Andys

Scott, The 01E output flanges are offset (about centerline) by 3/4", which in turn will make one axle 1.5" longer than the other. Just clarifying. Andy

For a cable actuated shifter, take a look the the Boxster 5 speed arrangement. They basically use a 012 transaxle. Andy

Ron, Try APC Fasteners for hollow bolts. Mostly sprint car stuff, but perhaps they have something you coud use. Andy
