Hi

If you put 'elan clutch hose' in ebay you get 42 hits. Lots of different colours.

Think Automotive will make a hose for you, whatever length and with whatever fittings you need. You will probably want a swivel at one end, so you can tighten the fitting and not rotate the hose.

Or just buy a length of teflon, stainless braid reinforced hose from them plus the end fittings and make it yourself. Not hard!
