Doing a w58 swap with a 240sx master cylinder, have some fitting size questions..
Okay so I'm doing a w58 conversion on my sc400 and I've decided to go with a 240sx clutch assembly and master cylinder because the sc300 one is just far too overpriced, but I didn't realize until after that the 240sx master cylinder thread is a m10x1.0 while the w58 slave cylinder in the bellhouse adapter kit I went with (this one from ks racing http://www.ebay.com/itm/281887899485...S:1123&vxp=mtr ) appears to be using a usual w58 slave cylinder.. which has a thread of m6x1.0 from what I've read. I'm kind of at a loss of what I should do here, as I can't find a -3an to m6x1.0 adapter to go with the -3an to m10x1.0 that would hook up to the slave cylinder... let alone, if it would even work with that thread size difference. Maybe someone can help me out here? I want to use a -3an preassembled braided hydraulic line from jegs, but if anyone has any ideas of what I could do here please let me know. I'm thinking about possibly fabricating an adapter plate so I can bolt a 240sx slave cylinder, but I'm not sure if that's the best option.
EDIT: I did find a -3an to m6x1.0 fitting here but would it be okay to use with with the drastic change from the master cylinder's -3an to m10x1.0? http://www.ebay.com/itm/AN-3-AN3-3AN...-/150622107102
EDIT x2: I went ahead and ordered it long with the braided line this morning, I don't see why it wouldn't work but some insight would still be appreciated on anyone who has done mixing and matching of master and slave cylinders before.

It sure does, not to mention it looks like I was completely wrong about the slave cylinder thread size. I checked it on the cylinder attached to my w58 that I'm putting in, and it IS a m10x1.0 thread, so I shouldn't have an issue assuming the one I get uses the same thread size, and why wouldn't it?
Now I'm hoping a 24in prefab line will reach from the master cylinder to the slave cylinder, if not I'll have to daisy chain another which shouldn't be a problem, or I could stop being lazy and avoid all these issues by just making my own line
