    I'm thinking of getting the two end pieces and getting a 1 piece braided clutch line straight from the master to slave cylinder made up rather than getting the super long LHD one or spending a fortune on a pre-made RHD one.

    Does anyone know how long the ideal length is? I can make some estimates but as mt car has teh engine and box out I can't really work out exactly.

    Thanks.

    This would be handy to know. I have the lhd version and I had a thought that if the real required length needed is half of the length of the lhd one I might get mine cut in half and have the extra ends crimped on. Will have a spare that someone may wish to buy.

    I can't estimate the length as I haven't yet put the manual box in.

    If it all works out Peter. Might be able to help you out.

    Have to wait and see.

    If you do it soon-ish and end up with an extra one I'll buy it from you.

    Are the end fittings easy enough to get hold of or is it worth ordering a long one to get shortened from Z1 while I've got an order going anyway?

    Z1 one i have here is 2 meters long. That's to the end on the hose into the fittings. Seems I can half mine and make it useful. As I don't want 1.33 meters of hose to hide.

    No worries. I'll take it to work tomorrow and send it to our hydraulic supplier and get a quote from them to do the job. Also supply another set of fittings to suit. Banjo plug and bspp/jic. Will be in contact.

    Oh btw. What measurement we to use. 57 or 60cm? 3 cm can add up to a lot of slack. Noting I'm using mine on an na. Where as yours turbo?
