    not much pressure in there, not much to make a difference anyway. I woudln't use a regular hose though, find a dedicated hose made for brake fluid. Probably find it at the dealer. I used a DSM remote reservior and using the lines that came with it and i have a sperate reservior for the clutch and reused the stock clutch hose from the old stock reservior

      x2, the only pressure in those lines is overflow and gravity. Its more important just to use a line that is compatible with brake fluid.

        Clutch Line Hoses

        Use OEM set up on the hose in-between the slaves it is Hi pressure.

            I would advise against that because brake fluid will soften and sweat through the fuel line, fuel hoses are made with nitrile or buna-N rubber which is incompatible with brake fluid. Look for hoses that are made with either EPDM rubber or SBR rubber which is brake fluid compatible
