And the need for a SS-braided line for the clutch is debatable. Unless
you really want them to match, a rubber hose is quite sufficient. The
main advantage of braided hoses over the rubber ones is that the feel
is much more linear, since very little of the force exerted by the
main cylinder is wasted by the expanding rubber. A clutch does not
need this degree of "feel", unless you are either drag racing or
competing in off road trials :-)
