You are correct...GT-6s have the double coil in the hydraulic
line...see any of the competent vender catalogs for pictures
(Motorhead, Vicky Brit, etc.).

Yes my '72 Spit MKIV has the loop in the clutch pipe but the '65 MKIV does
not. It looks original but maybe it's not! Should I replace it with one that
has the loop? Besides the saftey issue I want to keep this car as a
potential concours winner (at least for awhile :-})
