I went to change the clutch hose on my '64 1800. I found that stainless steel ones were not to be found... IPD said they had tried for years to get them made with out success....

Being a mechanical engineer I was really not content with that answer... I contacted several hydraulic vendors and got two made. I have now been running one on my car for awhile.

If other folks are interested in getting a SS clutch hose. I will be getting a batch made and offering these for $42 (that's with shipping via USPS priority to the states, overseas a bit more). IPD has basic rubber ones for $29 but these are cooler and are not soft. Sort of like when you replace rubber brake lines with SS.

Drop me a note if you wish to be included in this order. I think that I will put in an order next Friday (May 20th).

(122 are still being tested....)

Interesting response from IPD. Had one on my MGB for many years now (dunno if it helps, I certainly like it) that was made by goodridge, same guys that make the brake hoses.

It is possible to have them custom made by Pegasus Racing Supply to whatever dimension/end fitting you desire too (dunno price).

On the other end of the spectrum, I had one made as a replacement (stupid owner trick) by a local hydraulic supply house.
