Clutch master to slave pipework.

[Steve Webb]

Right, question about the pipe between the clutch master and slave cylinders.

3/16" seems to be the standard diameter pipe for brakes and clutch applications, the pipe between the master and slave in the Q4 has copper pipe that is 1/4".

What effect would using 3/16" pipe be instead of the 1/4"?

Increased effort? Harder clutch pedal?

I'm just concerned that pumping the clutch means moving more fluid about than working the brakes, and so could mean that 3/16" pipe is just too small.

Thoughts everyone?

Took another look at this today when making the pipework up, and god knows why Alfa used such a large diameter pipe beween the master and slave, the hole for the fluid leaving the master is only @3mm so 3/16" pipework should be fine.
