May be poss Dave, but I doubt it would cope with the pressure. (You funny blokes with your waggely stick things) M.

I don't think it is under any pressure. I take it you mean the pipe from the reservoir to the clutch master Cylinder?

(I can't answer your first question though!)

It will depend on what the inside of the hose is lined with. A specialist supplier could help here (for oil resistance, fluorine lined hoses work well). But as said, it is under no pressure.

Depending on the fittings, a braided replacement may be out, but fitting will be crucial (on a friend's Dolomite 1850, the hose was rubbing on wiring and the steering shaft itself!)
