Post by: mcl1959 on November 11, 2011, 08:50:22 PM Hmmmmmm. Front brake hose is too long to replace a clutch hose. But in theory there is no reason why it could not be used. The extra hose on the front brake system I would advise against because the hoses are always kept as short as possible in order to stop soft pedal due to brake hose swell under pressure.

Might just fit HK T G spring doovers to it. Title: Re: clutch hose,front brake line..help needed... Post by: fe350chev on November 11, 2011, 09:19:45 PM Dave, the rubber hose goes straight to a clip, then there is a piece I believe that is solid that goes to the brass block, which is about 30 cm long (I think so on that side).

I would rather go the solid line as per standard. What you put between the steel and the slave cylinder is up to you but the stock set up looks tidy.

Title: Re: clutch hose,front brake line..help needed... Post by: FCRB26 on November 19, 2011, 08:19:13 AM I just purchased fittings for either end and braided hose by the mtr from the local car place and they just crimp in when you do the fittings up.
Not original but made life easy. Title: Re: clutch hose,front brake line..help needed... Post by: zl296 on November 19, 2011, 11:58:47 AM thanks,for the info...hoon ;)

I remember it being a bit long maybe , but when you dump the clutch you don't have to wait 10 seconds for it to grab as per standard. I think it was the Larger inside diameter that made for quicker flow of fluid.
