Clutch pipes

[Realize]

Hi All

Appreciate all the help and knowledge I have been getting on this site, I am still in the thows of my clutch replacement and need the clutch pipe that comes from the slave cylinder on gear box down to the first flexi hose.

I am having trouble sourcing this part as no one has the correct size fittings.

Any Clues? I am in between Bedford and Milton Keynes.

Cheers

Pretty sure that Brickwerks does these.

No it's obsolete now..
But as Ian says brickwerks , though to be fair I've looked and can't see one

This is the SYNCRO specific version of the pipe Kev is referring to but as he says, the standard, non-Syncro one must be out of stock.

I know they do one as I ordered one by mistake a couple of months back. The part was about £38 or something and well made. DO NOT try to use crappy alternatives as the webshop says! Try an e-mail to Brickwerks to see when the next batch is due.

Hi

Brickwerks do not do these I spoke to them today.

Seems strange that a part like this is so hard to get hold of.......!

Any more clues????

Try a wanted ad, perhaps one of the gentlemen van dismantlers has one.

Any one ever used Pirtek?

There is a branch near me I may try tomorrow.

I mentioned this to our local hose manufacturer and they said they'd tried making clutch hoses but they couldn't get a 'pedal'.

Just thinking outside the box here but as far as I know the fitting to the slave cylinder is a standard brake line fitting so can it not be replaced with a brake line made to length rather than the plastic pipe?

It's rigid to a joint at the bracket, then a flexy to the bulkhead where it meets the steel long pipe.

I have the flexi hose from the long pipe coming from vw heritage, it is the metal pipe that runs from the flexi hose to the slave that I am having trouble sourcing.

Its the flexi (plastic) I was thinking off. I imagine this was done to allow for movement of gearbox but you could put in a loop to allow for that.
