Clutch reservoir hose

Post by **Nicola&Tony** » 16 Sep 2008, 06:44

I need to replace the hose that runs between the brake/clutch reservoir and the clutch master cylinder, so I'm just wondering what sort of hose to use. Would fuel hose do the job ok, and if so, does anyone know what diameter it will need to be?

Would pirtek - or another hose company have the part you need?

Thanks for the pointer edoh. Have googled them and requested a catalogue from their website. Will try using some fuel hose (7.6mm id) that I got from Halfords in the meantime.

Thought I had replied to this already....strange.
The hose just needs to be oil resistant as it is on the low pressure feed side so doesn't need to be anything specially.
Fuel hose is fine and will cope with brake fluid without issue.
