I'm fitting above ESM components to 1275 midget engine and gearbox in my moggie. I'm wondering if anyone knows whether it is possible to fit a braided flexible hose between them as the conventional approach seems to be rigid copper brakepipe which would be vulnerable to vibration and consequent failure.
Where could I source such a hose?
Many thanks

Re: ESM hydraulic clutch and Slave cylinder
I just used a braded front brake hose connected to a solid pipe which runs back to the master cylinder.
If I remember right the braded hose was from a MG Midget.
You are right not to have a solid pipe as the vibrations may fracture the pipe. You can see the master cylinder end of the flex braded pipe at the lower left. Above shows the pipe run over the gearbox cross member
The fitment of my hydraulically operated clutch goes way way back and is my own set up and it works well even with a high pressure clutch cover.
