What size is the clutch pipe?
IIRC 6mm OD or 1/4" in old money, brake pipes are 5mm or 3/16"

Cheers Ian. Well we have had a good day 
as we were lowering the gearbox we caught the clutch pipe just where it comes through the chassis breaking it. It looked very fragile so could have been a good thing. A couple of phone calls and a bit of running about it is now repaired using some brake pipe as we couldn't get hold of any clutch pipe. So we now have the old gearbox out, new clutch installed and new clutch pipe it has taken a little longer than the 4 hours that were being told it would take but heyho! Mrs pep had to come and pick me up and will take me back tommorrow to finish the little blighter. BTW ricicles is a star. Thanks mate

A bit of metal with rubber on the end 
Not too sure as we have topped the resevoir up but not tried to bleed the system yet try to let it settle over night. It was dark by then so decided to leave it till tommorrow. Spoke to Mocki about this and he thinks it may just make the peddle a little firmer.
