Flexi clutch pipe

[phillpot]

Anyone got any idea of pressure in a hydraulic system when clutch operated ? Would presume lot less than braking system.
Looking to get a flexi pipe made up and would be handy to know what sort of pressure it needs to be able to handle.

It's probably hard to get fittings which are specified for hydraulic applications at a lower pressure. Couple with that the economies of scale which mean that automotive fittings are cheap. A single Aeroquip/BFgoodrich type should do the job. Years ago I got a four line kit for the Wedge which left me with a spare... one day it'll replace the solid clutch line.

Not sure of the fittings difference between an S and griff but.....

Nice ! but at a price

Yes, it isn't cheap, interesting to see how much a hose supplier would charge to produce one.

Think Automotive will be able to supply any fittings and the pipe you require.

They are compression type fittings and quite simple to make up the hose yourself.

Why would it need the pipe changed, if you find it has leakage actually you can weld it easy and cheap. Thought it was the clutch master and rubber seal scrapes each other has more probability to be worn out, you will have to replace it all, either of them will not work out. Having experienced this with my former Ford …

But there are quite a few fittings used there. Overall the price probably isnt that bad.

By the time you fk about and ring different people and try and source all the fittings. It would be a damn sight handier just to buy a kit.

Which is was I was kind of hinting towards..

Thanks for all your responses chaps (how did you know I had an S ?)but perhaps should explain a little more what I am trying to do.
First the tatty old copper pipe is going, along with slave and master cylinders as part of my on going "refurbishment".
Being a bit mean I shall be using land Rover items, which I understand fit perfectly but have a different thread. I have "come by" a very nice 1/4" flexible pipe off an air coditioner which is good for over 400psi.
See where I'm going now ? Obviously would not mess around with mixed up fittings etc on brakes but reckon clutch not so critical !
