Help with Hydraulic Clutch Fittings

[G2sound]

At long last, most of the engine/ drivetrain mods are finished and I'm ready to drop my spankin' new Zetec into S1 #0017... almost ready. I switched from a mechanical release bearing to a Hydraulic. It is the OE Ford part from a 2004-2009 Focus with WRT75 tranny Ford part #7A564. The trouble is that I can't find any info on the hose fitting for the slave cylinder end. Does anyone know what this fitting is called? It pushes into the top of the cylinder and is held in place by a circlip of sorts. I need to have a custom hose built, but need to know what the fitting is called.

 

 

This is what the Slave cylinder looks like.

Ford uses a slip-tube type of connection on some connections like the fuel and A/C hoses. The "clip" is part of the hose end and requires a special slip tool to release the clip out of the groove on the receiving end. I have never seen it on clutches here but I believe this is a European tranny and may differ from what we have here. I own a company that makes hydraulic hose assemblies for the public, and we quite commonly make up custom hoses that can't be found anywhere. I would recommend you find out where this tranny is used (ie Ford Focus, Escort, etc) then try to buy a clutch hose for it. That will give you the connection end at the tranny. Then you can take this hose to a custom hose shop and they can cut off the factory end and attach it to a hose assembly that connects to the clutch master cylinder. If this hose is as I described above, they will have to make their connection far enough away from the slip on end that if brazing is involved, they don't fry the "o" ring seal in that end.
