Alternative Clutch Hose: Elan S4/Sprint Elan +2 '68 onwards
Posted: Mon Nov 30, 2020 1:01 pm
If like me you object to high prices for mundane parts, then you may like this.
I didn't fancy paying £27 for this clutch hose (£18.50 plus VAT plus Delivery) so spent a little while searching for the alternatives.
The hose is 445mm O/A with 3/8" x 24 UNF ends. I figured it had to from a British car of 60's/70's vintage, and given the overall length, a larger vehicle.
Turns out this is a front brake hose from an early Jaguar XJ and/or late 4.2 and V12 E-Type. OEM numbers as follows:
OEN C30755 — DAIMLER
OEN C0013182 — JAGUAR
OEN C0030752 — JAGUAR
OEN C0030755 — JAGUAR
OEN C11922 — JAGUAR
OEN C30755 — JAGUAR
OEN JLM9702 — JAGUAR
This from Parts in Motion on eBay (who I've used many times for parts for my 'moderns') is a bit more acceptable at £8.84 DELIVERED Also available from the many classic Jaguar suppliers
