John
The older big TR's (TR3's and TR4's) all had a braded rubber hose (aka brake
hose) but the TR6's (starting on or before 1971 at least) used a PVC flex
line which ran from the inner fender to the slave cylinder. This was a bold
move considering the confidence the public had in plastic in the late 60's to
early 70's. I'll bet later model Spitfires use the same thing.
And not only that, They used a similar line for the oil pressure gauge!
Though you'd like to know (enquiring motorheads want to know)
