No reason not to.
Replace it all with the one hose.
Regards.
Rich.

OK, clutch slave replacement is done, but I got lost with where all the pipes went. It looks from the diagram like there's a whole load of unnecessary pipework between the master cylinder and the slave cylinder:  Before I do something silly, is there any reason I can't just replace all that gubbins with the braided line straight down from the master cylinder to the slave? I'm going to wish I'd done it while the engine was out, that's for sure. I haven't got my head around the weird double loop either. what were they thinking ? |

I count 3 extra points of failure in that setup ^

Thanks all, I've got the braided hose (HEL performance, from Bofi) I just couldn't see the equivalent rubber hose to replace with it, makes sense now!

Braided line went straight from the master cylinder to the slave, and I ripped out all the spaghetti so that cleaned things up a bit. Refilled will fluid, bled it out of the nipple....and there was absolutely no pedal resistance at all! Does that mean my master cylinder is now b0rked too?  |

Will try getting an umbilical camera in the fork-hole and see if I can work out why it's not doing what it should be doing. The pedal had a lot more resistance when all the spaghetti was still in there, probably just due to the old/long pipes.

Hi
Mine has a braided line straight to the Slave from the Master.
It used to be a common aftermarket part.
It makes it easier to bleed too.

I'm getting really fed up with it now. I finally found a position where I could see into the clutch fork-hole, and the fork is pushing the release bearing towards the clutch as it should. It just doesn't seem to push it far enough to move the clutch spring fingers. I took the slave cylinder off its mounting point, brought it up above the master cylinder, put the bleed nipple at the top and bled it a few times. I think the master cylinder is OK as it does get some pressure, and does push the fluid through to the slave. The pedal has a bit of resistance right at the end of its travel, but I still can't get the bleddy thing into gear with the engine running.  |

Fixed the wiring on my head unit so the steering wheel controls work.
What novelty after NA’s…
