Clutch rubber pipe from fluid reservoir to cylinder (1992 VR6)

Recommended Posts

Can someone help me with the tube / pipe please that runs from the brake & clutch fluid reservoir to the clutch master cylinder (fixed to the firewall). Its a blue rubber tube braided with material.

 

Is this normal fuel type piping, or does it need to be special pipe to handle brake fluid? Where can I buy it from?

 

I am reconditioning the brake master cylinder and replacing the reservoir and thought I would do all the pipes that are looking a bit shabby. I've got the ABS pump return pipes, but just need the clutch one, which looks like fuel pipe.

 

Also, are these glued or anything at each end of just held in place by just pushing them over the reservoir / ABS pump joints?

 

Many thanks

 

David

Funny enough my clutch was feeling not quite right yesterday, annoying as got a new clutch, gearbox, and both cylinders, and when checked the plastic pipe connector thing that the pipe your talking about connects on to, on the, 2 month old, master cylinder has sheared right off. Amazingly clutch was still working. Was a TRW too, not cheap.

Luckilly I kept the old master cylinder as it's fine, just seemed worthwhile renewing everything so extracting the connector thing from that, as everything else bang on.

Don't suppose anyone has an old knackered master cylinder with an intact plastic connector pipe lying around do they, that wouldn't mind extracting and sending the plastic connector to me, then I'll have a fully functioning spare clutch masrter too? Will be bit stiff but heat up with hairdryer and they'll come out.
