Default Pipe and brake fluid

. uk...
I'm intending making a modification to my cars clutch master cylinder, as
in adding a more accessible reservoir, which will need to be linked to the
original by a pipe. Are there any flexible pipes to be wary of using with
hydraulic fluid?


yup, most designed for water i guess,

Someone on the bike group did this not long ago, used some small bore hose
he found in the garage,
next day the hose was 'sweating' brake fluid,

i remember the VW beetle has a remote resovoir for the brake master
cylinder, that had some blue cloth covered flexi hose between the 2, so you
should be able to get brake fluid rated hose from a VW dealer... or any of
the thousand of specialist VW parts places,
