Pic 1: Steel braided clutch line with EARL's hoses
During DILYSI #13, I've had problems with a leaking clutch line. I have to ensure that the same thing will not happen again else I'll be stranded on the streets. It's a relief, I've finally got it sorted out.
Instead of sourcing for another rubber clutch line, I got my hands on a custom made steel braided clutch line using materials from EARL'S. For added security against undercarriage scrapes/stones, I got the steel line wrapped in 6mm silicone hose.
With steel braided clutch line, there is no room for volumetric expansion caused by rubber lines. It will firm up pedal feel and make the clutch more accurate by not allowing the hose to swell and lose pressure.

Here is a picture of how it looked like installed.

ReplyDeleteBro, be careful with locally clamped/terminated steel braided hose, be it brake lines or clutch lines because a friend had a nightmare coming down from Genting, the brake lines snaps, brake totally out!
ReplyDeleteNothing wrong with the material but the workmanship :o
Hi astroboy, no worries on that. This guy has done it plenty of time with no issues.
ReplyDeleteBrake lines are crucial. Anyway no clutch better than no brakes! Hahaha
