Jim offers an ideal time to reissue a warning: hydraulics do NOT
interchange between the Roadster and the 510. Plumbing appears
to fit, but the threads are just a wee bit different! (one is SAE, the
other metric. Ask Tom Walter - I always get confused). Bottom line:
the fitting isn't as tight as it should be, and there's a risk of it 
popping loose at the worst possible time (panic stop)!

That said, the dealer sold me a clutch slave that hits the hood - I
better take my own advice and double check that part number!
