Don't know, Mine came with my donor truck. Try South Bend Clutch, if they don't have it, they should know where to get one.

I combobulated mine, kinda........

I am assuming you are stressing over the same thing I did, which is how the h*ll to connect it all together, since the gertrash slave come in from the front, and the nv4500 comes in from the rear, and there is now way on God's green earth that you can make what you have in your hands work? Fret not my friend, for I have words of wisdom to bestow upon thee... ... ... .



I used the master and slave cylinders from a first gen, but had a local hydraulic hose shop make a new flexible hose between the two. There is a roll pin you punch out on the cylinders to remove the old rigid plastic line (so you can get the metal fittings out to reuse)(Don't lose the o-rings ), then cut the plastic line off and have them swage some new 3000(?) psi hose onto the fittings. The Bi*ch is to 'bleed' the assembly after you get it all together, as there is no bleed valves anywhere. What worked for me was to stick the slave in a vice (without the hose) with the port on top and fill it with a hypodermic needle. Then I attached the hose to the slave and filled it with the needle, and finally attached the hose to the master cylinder. I filled the master cylinder up @ 1/2way and then, with the master up high, and the slave down low, I pumped the living poop outa the slave cylinder, forcing what little air was left in the assembly to bleed out the master. It works for me, so I am gonna assume it'll work for you.

Let us now how it turns out. I guess the booger for you would be if you didn't have the old slave and master, but I did read here somewhere that you could purchase them seperately from Napa or checker or somewhere like that. Anybody remember reading that, too?
