Re: [DML] Re: plastic clutch line syndrome?

["M.C. de Bruin" <debruin@xxxx>]

After following this thread the past few days, I have to ask this question.
Recently I discovered that my car has a complete steel clutchline. It is a solid
steel line of about 3 or 4 mm thick. Has anyone heard of this before or am I the
only one and isn't the clutch line to narrow?
