At least with new braided hoses on all hydraulic lines I will never be worrying about this sort of problem occurring as I head into a corner deep under brakes!
My wife said I needed a hobby.....so imagine my surprise when I showed her a picture of a kit car, and said "Let me build this.."......and she said "I think that's a great idea!" So this blog is a chronicle of my efforts to piece together a Birkin S3 Clubman, and a tribute to my wife's patience and understanding.

Broken Clutch Hose
After the clutch hose blew out, I have decided to replace all the stock rubber hydraulic hoses on the car with stainless steel braided lines. This means removing the outboard lines to the front and rear brakes, as well as removing the remaining clutch coupling which was still attached to the CSC in the bell housing (which means removing the engine and gearbox ...... again!). This photo (pardon the hand) shows what's left of the hose coupling that was in the bell housing. The hose let go from the top. The new ones are coming from Redback Motorsport at Kirrawee.
