Default Stainless steel clutch line

What's the benefit of one of these? I understand the benefit of SS brake lines, but not sure about clutch one?

Pretty much nowt matey.

I fitted one because I had a spare goodridge hose of roughly the right length kicking around when I changed my slave cylinder.

I caught my oem rubber hose when I changed my clutch. Its not leaking any fluid but concious i weakend it so i will upgrade it to a ss line instead at some point

Think it was around £15 on it own when the group buy was on last year but haven't looked into it since as I already have ss brake lines. Who else supplies them on their own?

Same reason for fitting braided brake lines - The standard flexi line is rubber, which when hot and/or under regular/intense pressure, will expand and be felt through the pedal causing potential performance loss. And its stainless steel and guarenteed for life

Non USDM/JDM are all AP1s.

Check out the part numbers for OEM hoses on Lings's site - if facelift is the same as pre facelift, they are identical. Wouldn't have thought there would be a difference between MYs.

The only difference between prefacelift and facelift is the slave cylinder with the clutch delay valve in but the connections are the same.
