Mike, your comment about pressure was what I was getting at in my post above. I was taking the flow out of the equation, stating that a clutch hydraulic system is quasi static, and thus the flow speed can be ignored - the only issue is static pressure of the fluid, and thus pressure drop associated with pipe bore, and fluid velocity and viscosity does not need to be considered.
Anyhow, the jist of the matter as far as Craig is concerned, is that my clutch works using a narrower bore similarly constructed flexible tube, and the same specification master and slave cylinders. We can therefore rule out the diameter of Craig's clutch hose being the cause of his difficulties.
Next suggestion what might be wrong..........? (I'm clean out of ideas, having discussed this to death on msn with Craig.)
