348/355 Clutch Master Hose (RHD Cars)

Just a bit of warning (for RHD cars only) if you are installing a new hose (from tank to clutch master cylinder). When I recently installed a new clutch master, I also replaced the hose. This hose is supposed to be pre-formed in an L shape (p/n 134903) but what I got from Eurospares was just a straight piece, 4 in. long, so I had to force it into shape when connecting. The hose has pretty thick walls and is quite tough but I managed to put it in and clamped it with the original small hose clips (did not overtighten them). I thought the hose will form itself over time. However, about 6 months later (did not drive the car since the installation), I found the plastic hose adapter on top of the clutch cylinder broken off. Obviously, it was caused by the force of the bent short hose which refused to form itself. I then used a 1 foot long and somewhat thinner hose that I looped one full circle, from the tank connection forwards, back over the top and onto the clutch master adapter. This went in much easier and without causing stress to the plastic adapters.

Correction: I bought the hose from Ferrparts, not Eurospares (apologies to Eurospares).

 

I had a spare from another ATE master. You can try Ebay (like Porsche 911 930 Brake Hose Fitting on Master Cylinder Ate New NS | eBay).

 

This one seems to be correct (Clutch Master Cylinder Hose Connector BMW E24 E28 E30 E31 E32 E34 E38 | eBay). The Porsche one appears to have larger diameter bottom portion. I think my spare was for a BMW clutch master.
