My clutch pedal decided to go flaccid on me for Christmas. I knew the line from the master to slave had fluid on it, so I assumed it was bad. I bought a new line for it, and will install it soon. The fittings on the slave look like crap, so I bought new 1/4 couplers, and two new nuts. I'm going to use a tubing cutter on the slave lines, throw the new nuts on there, reflare the lines, and connect the new line. The bleeder screw doesn't even resemble a bleeder any longer, so my question is: Where can I get a replacement adapter and bleeder screw for this, or any alternative for it? I'm doing my best to get this done without having to drop the Pukegeot, since the clutch grips great, and it was shifting just perfect. Any ideas?

Hit the local Hi-Po shop and you can usually get braided line by the foot, not to mention all the -AN adapters you might need...
Watch out if you get a new slave cylinder... first there is no bleed screw so once you have the hydraulic lines connected, you need to pump the crap out of it to get the air out of the lines... second the slave plunger has tabs that keep it from travelling full range that is apparently done only for packaging... you must remove those, although if you alternately pump the master and slave enough they SHOULD break
