This is the flexible hose just before the slave cylinder, right? I wouldn't mind one provided it had stainless hardware and wasn't too expensive. Finding a replacement for the standard one was a right pain when it refused to come off the slave cylinder...all to do with that funny rigid bit of pipe on the end.

I'd be interested in one depending on price.

It wouldn't cost you much to make up your own. 1 metre of hose and two fittings from somewhere like Rally Design. The price you'd pay for some one making some you'd save on doing it yourself.


Then again if you want to pay me to make up a load I'll do it!! :)

it'll probably be less than a new one from the dealer, these cost about £80 at the dealers, shocking

or pay a Stealer £80?

No contest.

I don't think it is going to be worth setting up a GB

Many thanks for the info Shorty73 :D

When I made mine out of Goodridge Fittings, I used a M10x1.0 Male (Convex) to AN-3 Male Adaptor on the slave cylinder, turned it through 180 degrees rotation (upside down), and used 400mm of 600-03CL Braided Hose, with an M10x1.0 Female (Concave) fitting at the hard line end, and an AN-3 Female fitting at the Slave Cylinder end.

Cost less than AUD$50 in parts, so about £20. Pretty good value I thought.
