here is a link to the fitting that goes into the clutch master,

then you get a 3 foot steel braided line with the haose ends and a -4 to 1/8 adapter (depending on the slave you use!)

$45 is steep for that adapter. But I guess if you need to run a braided line, then that's the price for aesthetics. I reused the stock hard-line and the connector that was in my V6 slave clutch and mounted it in my external slave. The 83-84 Ranger external slave I used was a bit more expensive than others ($75 vs $35), but going this route did allow me to avoid buying a new line and that adapter to fit into the clutch master.

For whatever reason, the file server I host pics on is down at the moment so you can't see the pics I've posted to illustrate what I did. But when/if it comes back up, you can see my setup on this thread:
Parts needed to adapt the T5 into the Ranger
So far, my setup has been working exceptionally well.

That's much more reasonable.

I wish I knew of that one before I bought mine since it cost $80 at the performance shop.

Don't feel bad. If you knew what I paid for the Total Performance part and hose back in the day you'll feel much better. Of course I didn't have this forum back then to help me out :)
