Clutch fluid reservoir and pipes

MartinClan · #1 31st May 2006, 12:28

I would like to know if anyone has used the standard BMW fluid reservoir for the clutch, and if the standard bmw pipes will fit. Just weighing up the various options for brake and clutch fluid reservoirs....

Cheers

I'm not using the standard one, but have used a piece of fuel pipe to connect it up to the marlin supplied one.

Do you know how much the original BMW hose costs new?

It's about £4 as is also the reservoir. I think you have to be a bit careful about what hose you use for hydrollic (can't spoll) fluid. I read of someone failing the SVA becuase they had used a remote reservoir and not used hose that was specifically marked for the use.

Hmm I should get something else then. This SVA stuff is a bit of a headache!
