clutch hydraulic hose

[GQ Bear]

The hose from clutch booster to slave cylinder has busted and is leaking. It's broken at top connection between body mount bracket and slave cylinder. Looks like its gunna be a sunarvabitch to replace

Anyway, it appears that the hose is stretched a little due to 2" body lift. Has anyone else encountered this problem? Body lift was done a few of years ago. And if so, did you replace it with a longer hose or standard?

Can this hose be repaired by hydraulic/hose joint? Or should i just buy or get a new one made? Can anyone recommend a hose joint in Melbourne?

Thanks

my mate had one made for his swb gq, it has 2" body and had 30mm xmember spacer so std hose was too short.

in bris so not much help with location but any brake place should have the gear.

rip it off and take it to a brake place, that way they can match the fittings and even make it longer to suit your body lift if need be,

i had one made when i did a body lift on an MQ years ago, didnt cost alot either,

Mine on my old GQ with a 50mm BL was as tight as a guitar string. Just never got around to going to the brake & clutch place.
There not that expensive to get made with new connectors. Think the local place was only around $40-50.
The extra length dosent cost much. Hose is cheap.

Thanks guys. I thought that might be the best approach. Didn't even think of the xmember spacer nastytroll, as i'm thinking of putting drop boxes in soon this would cause an even bigger problem.
