Nope, my CSC has a braided hose and a tiny remote bleed nipple. Thread must be 6mm, maybe smaller.
The only ting to be concerned about is setting the distance up correctly, and allowing for clutch wear.

Are you sure you want to do this? I have had no end of problems with concentric slave cylinders on modern cars. Too many duff Chinese parts about that fail very quickly and being inside the bell housing they are a real pain to replace.
