Its for a clutch so not particulalry high pressure, one end just pushes onto a copper pipe, the other onto a barbed fitting at the master cyclinder.

Its about 3-4ft long, 3.5mm ID, 2mm wall thickness (so 7.5mm OD).

Contains DOT5.1/DOT4 so needs to be failry resiliant. Any ideas?

1975 Mg midget, but not the original setup if that makes any difference.

Ohh and its red (everyone knows red bits are faster).

i struggled to find the plastic hose you are talking about for my Hillman so just threaded the barbed ends and fitted a Copper line similar to what is used on performance brakes with a short bit of goodridge hose for some extra flex. The problem with the plastic tube is it need to have virtually no expansion or your clutch wont work frown
Hope this helps smile
