Hydraulic Clutch Cable

Post by jonnydub »

I'm replacing my hydraulic clutch system on my '82 bus as there's some corrosion but instead of having to install, bend and flare the new pipes can I just use braided cable from the master to to the slave cylinder?

Has anyone done this before?

Thanks

I think you mean braided hose...

Yes, you could do it. No reason not to. Well, no reason apart from it being massively more expensive and just the same amount of work to fit.
