1962 235 hydraulic clutch flex hose

Hi I recently replaced the brake lines on my '62 and the kit came with two stainless sections of clutch line but no flex hose between them. Anyone find one or a solution? Thanks, Chris

I used a piece of stainless braided hose with fittings on either end to connect to the hard lines. I only needed about 8". If you have a hydraulic hose shop around, they should be able to make one up for you.

I think your solution is the only way to go. I can't find anyone that makes a clutch line like the original (I have a 61 C-10). Any pictures would be helpful. Thanks - GPK1961

I had one made at a local hydraulic hose shop for $45.00. Here a picture of the old one with some measurement.

Thanks for the solutions guys. I think the hydraulic hose from a shop sounds like it would be the most original looking. CB
