#1 bespoke clutch hose

Post by MarkRado » Wed Jul 31, 2019 6:35 am

Hi all,

I am looking for a clutch hose for my 420G project. Looking up/ ordering by the spares number from the parts catalogue returns the wrong part. Unfortunately our local hose shop does not have the required fittings in stock. Any recommendations where to buy?
Thank you

Hi Steve, it is indeed for a 420G, which has a banjo connector in the slave, therefore you need a hose with different threaded ends, similar to the rear brake flex hose on the etype. I had already been on the brakequip homepage, but found the navigation a little strange. Ill give them a call though, as they offer power steering hoses as well.
