Screw the SS clutch line. NiCopp to the rescue!

I didn't feel like custom ordering a SS line and waiting, plus I don't care for the price.

NiCopp brake line is very flexible and corrosion free. I paid about 13 after tax for a 51" piece. (edit: 20% off Advance Auto code P20).
I didn't know exactly how much I would need, so I went long just in case. I am far too lazy to use a string a measure.

I bent the part by the master cylinder 1st. Just snake it through where you want it to travel, bend it to fit fully and that's it. I put it in that stock AC line clip and it was solid. I zip tied it to the AC line just to make sure it doesn't move.

You could finish this off with the SS slave line and still be much cheaper than the whole thing braided. I coiled it the wrong direction, oh well.

It's just a standard piece of brake line. It's already flared.
The reason why it's so awesome is b/c it's far more malleable than copper.
