Re: Spider clutch pipe union

Do you mean the fitting on the rubber hose or the female fitting to go over the copper pipe before flaring the end? If you mean the hose, would it not be easier to buy a new one from Highwood or ClassicAlfa? A new one will only cost about £10 including post. If you need the connector to go over the copper pipe before you flare it, they could no doubt supply that as well.

If your rubber hose is old, it may be worthwhile replacing it now while you are fitting the new copper pipe. Some people have reported clutch bleeding problems (or was that bleeding clutch problems?) on this and the alfabb.com forum, and one suggestion was to replace the hose because of 'ballooning' due to age.
