Clutch Hose Failure

[ukkid35]

I have suffered a clutch hose failure while in horrendous traffic. The heat soak from the jam has melted the braided hose inners, and fluid is spraying all over the exhaust manifolds. I need to replace the hose, either now or later. Can anyone who has done this job explain what it entails. Better still if you can magic one up for me!

Worst part of this is that I am near Gent in Belgium originally on my way to the TVR NL CC event at Zolder - sadly that is not going to happen for me this year, despite the heroic efforts of my gf and Richard at RT Racing (more on that later).

The only positive that I am going to try to extricate from this mess is that at least it isn't the clutch slave - which was my initial assumption when the pedal hit the floor.

The generosity of people on PH is often overwhelming.

Thank you!

But hold fire, I'm going to head for Passion Engineering early tomorrow morning, and it seems there is a fighting chance that they may be able to help.

Either way it would be good to meet up for a drink/pizza/whatever one day, and thank you once again - that really has lifted my spirits.

Thank you everyone, car fixed by 11:15am yesterday, so got to Zolder about three hours later. Sadly missed the really fun part which is timed hill climb, sprints, slaloms etc. but still got plenty of track time. No prizes for me this time either!

Will do a proper report later, heading off to Spa now.

Would be good to see pics of the routing on your cars. I'm not convinced that the hose should have one 90 deg union and one straight, 90 deg on both would seem the better combination.
