520 Clutch Slave Hose Length & Pics ??

[difrangia]

Can someone dig in their parts stash and post the length and a photo of the ends on a 520 (pushrod J13) flex hose for the clutch slave cylinder. I'm trying to determine the interchange between the 520 and 320 pickups. By the way, is the 520 have metric or SAE threads? The 320 is pretty much all SAE.

 

Thanks

I don't have the length for the 520/521 but the 620 has to be almost identical as the PL521. Its 270mm or 10.6" long.

 

As in speedometer cables, too long will still work.

521 trucks are SAE.  If a 320 is SAE, i would assume a 520 is also. 

620 trucks are metric.  Many parts on 620 trucks are the "same size" as 521 trucks, and will fit, but fasteners are different.

Example:  A 620 rear wheel cylinder will fit on a 521 backing plate.  But it requires a M10-1.0 flare nut, and M8-1.25 nuts to hold it.

A 521 rear wheel cylinder uses a 3/8-24 flare nut, and 5/16-24 nuts to hold it on.

520 is SAE in the USA, not sure about Australia.  620 was first metric Datsun Truck in the USA.

I am pretty sure the 520, and 521 trucks were SAE world wide. 

It would be a manufacturing nightmare to have identical models of trucks in the factory, some SAE, some Metric.
