The Ford quick connect for the clutch is fine for the remote reservoir but causes problems for the pressurized side where I am hooking up to non factory things. I thought over a few options and decided my easiest path forward was to lathe a part that was Ford quick connect on one side, and 3/8-24 inverted flare adapter fitting on the other. I cut the threads with a die since I still don't have a threading tool for the lathe. The die did a terrible job, but fortunately the threads are not what make the seal.
Top: my lathed piece and a 3/8-24 union that will accept a tube nut. Bottom: Original hose.
Here is my part assembled in the the Master cylinder. It fit perfectly. I just hope it seals!
