Really sorry but can’t find them! Possibly 7/16 unf.

Looking around this is probably what you’re after, just hopefully it’d be long enough. I’d assume same fittings as the Commer as likely uses the same or similar parts. Reasonable price too.
He probably makes them so if contact Arrow5spares and know the length he’ll probably let you know this size or even knock one up.
Good Luck

Thanks for this and no worries about not being able to find them, I’ll get in touch with this chap once I’ve measured it up
Right so I’m back with another stupid question, I’ve finally managed to get the line out from the master to the slave, I’ve had to take the slave off again to do this and I was wondering will I need to get a new Rubber bit that goes on the end ? as it’s only been on a few days and not been driven on as I noticed the leak from the old line.
The bit I mean is the bit on the right of the slave in this image that the metal pole thing goes into which comes out the gearbox. Clearly I’m good with mechanical terms

Ah in that case I’ll be fine then, as my leak was on the other end of the line. Once I’ve got the new line it should just all work fine. Contacted the person Jim recommended so hopefully he can sort something out for me.
If not I’ll make my own I suppose if I get the right tools for it
So after hours of trying to get the master out, I finally got the thing out.
My Mrs has gone and lost the bolt in the third image.
Really smart letting the Mrs near Betty!
Picture 2 is a new hose I had made up, turns out it’s wrong so will get it remade with different fittings but trying to work out the exact size bolt I need to go into the master as seen in image 4 as that’s the bolt she’s lost, also unsure of the exact fittings I need for the hose.
I was also wondering if I could run a straight hose from the master to the slave so I don’t need the O ring part with the bolt through?
Any tips appreciated, I’m a bit lost here and need the exact bolt and threads. I’m pretty sure my master cylinder is a Lockheed one as it’s got it on the fluid pot

How on earth did she lose it
or is she just getting the blame
To run a hose from the cylinder without the banjo bolt you would still need an adapter to step down from the cylinder to the hose connection and I don't know if such a thing exists. Sorry.
When you eventually replace the cylinder a good tip is to compress the big spring with a couple of cable ties which makes getting things together a lot easier. Then, one it's in place, snip the cable ties off. Thanks to Colin the fox for the tip.

Yeah my mate said the same thing with the cable tie trick! Will make sure I do that. I’m just hoping I can get it going myself otherwise I’ll lose my rag and get a classic car mobile mechanic over to solve all my issues.How on earth did she lose it

I’m enjoying the project though, learnt tons so far especially my SU Carb did a good clean of the jets and its idling really lovely now where as it sounded like a bag of shit at first, once this clutch is fixed is going to a ramp to fully inspect the underside properly and get everything I need and then a custom made exhaust.
Then once all the mechanical stuff’s out the way it’ll be going to for some welding work.
Exciting stuff
Well. I can say I officially hate master cylinders, slaves cylinders and everything related to a clutch!
I got a new bolt. Fits perfect, problem is I’m leaking fluid from the master cylinder, unsure if it’s due to not tightening enough but don’t want to over tighten it and have no clue about lining the hole up in the banjo and the Oring bolt it goes through. Nightmare of a job, Been doing all this crap with no ramps because I’m stupid so I’m getting some ramps soon then hopefully I’ll see some sort of fix. The new line seems fine though which is good I’m not only getting the leaks from the master so I’m thinking washers and not tightening enough but I’ll tackle it later in the week!

I did not do that no, that would probably explain why its just leaking out of that part, I will look for a guide on how to do that and get onto it later in the week when i have ramps
It's very easy. Make a hook out of wire so you don't burn your fingers and use it to suspend the washers in a blowtorch flame until it's red hot. Dunk it in water as it's the heating up that anneals the copper. If you haven't got a blow torch sneak into the kitchen and use the gas hob, takes a bit longer but it will do the job.
Update on clutch gate. I have a working clutch, system bled, no leaks, working much better than it was and have taken her for a few little spins around the block, having trouble going from second gear down into first, doesnt seem to like it. I'm sure it will be an easy enough fix or I will just use second gear onwards everywhere other than from a complete standstill
