TR6s used a metal hydraulic clutch line, not rubber.
I don't know that any Triumphs used a rubber clutch hose.
Gosh, even the Herald had a metal hydraulic clutch line!
Are you sure you didn't drive an MG in a prior life?!? :-) :-)
Oh, and to answer your question, of course we can be friends, even if
we find that you thought that the MGC was the best car in the world for
twenty years!
By the way, the rest of the places you indicated looking for possibly
play in the mechanical linkages for poor clutch play are all applicable
to Triumphs in general, and are excellent possibilities when trying
to diagnose a marginal clutch.

And!! they do have a rubber line to the slave cylinder, nearly 10" long.
Additionally, TR4A > TR6 have a flexible line too, made from nylon.
