Clutch Hose

Bollox...

just had to cut a days laning short cos i got a ole in me clutch hose which ****ed fluid everywhere. now. ive looked around and can only find hose which attaches to the master cylinder.

MY hose is the flexi one that joins the 2 solid pipes down by the starter motor. you know the ones?

now are these the same as the other flexi ones? or should i be looking for something completely different.

Cheers,

go for an armoured cable - tons available as after martket components - just decide on the length and fittings.

just make sure its a hollow cable

hohoho you are the funny one. didnt realise the slave cylinder was down there. its the one from there to the solid pipe. i guess i will drop it off and take it to a motor factors. cheers MHM, wasnt sure if it was a specific part.

ok guys i got me hose. long story short. fited to the slave cylinder fine, hooked that up. went to put the locknut on the other end. tight as feck

it wont go on! now, i might be stupid but i cant see that ive not cross threaded it. is it possible i have and cant see it? it will wind on a turn or 2 then go solid. ive tried other nuts, nothing. nut is fine. tried it on the old hose. brilliant, smooth as silk! is it possible that the threads are a little too raised cos its new? would a fine sanding help? or do i got a duffer hose

holding them both together they look EXACTLY the same... stumped i am

sounds like a different thread

thats what i thought. i tried 2-3 other nuts i had lying about. they got stuck solid on both hoses. not just the new one...

also, the other locking nut fitted fine on the other end. the end i attached to the slave cylinder before fitting.

BSP and UNF are almost but not quite the same TPI at those sizes, can't be arsed to get me tables out try Googling thread pitches an see what you come up with, pound to a pinch of ****e you've got the wrong one. Where did you get the hose from is it the pukka one?

only just read your reply grunt, thank you. i went back to the bloke this morning and checked it against another one. it was a dud! freaking jesus... so now i got one that holds the locknuts smooth both sides always check new parts before getting under your landy!

tonight i now have to fit the hose to the slave, slave inplace, other end of hose and bleed. hope it works tonight, im staying in london wed/thu night and going to swansea fri! owww dear.
