Replacing clutch reservoir pipe ???

Has anyone done this, any tips?
Noticed the other day the pipe (original) doesn't look too clever from the little cylinder type plastic reservoir to i presume the master cylinder? Doesn't look like there's any jubilee clips in place either end, is that normal?

Thanks all.

Towing car with 1800-2000kg towing capacity?

Anyone got any recommendations for a tow car with a big enough towing capacity to deal with my homemade type car transport trailer and e30 325i race car for under £3000 and not a 4x4, Land rover/chelsea tractor? Would imagine car and trailer combined would be around 1500kg? So needs to have a bigger...

Are there any places left for the track?
Can you run slicks in caged cars?

Having jumped in the car and driving it up and down the drive for the first time I soon found out how heavy the steering was and the R888's probably don't help either. Expecting it to have power steering, I had a look to find which looks to be a standard rack, with the metal hoses coming off the rac...
