I had written Bill regarding some info Goodridge had provided me a couple of
years ago.  They said if I sent mine in they could probably duplicate it.
Anyway curiosity got me a I went to the Goodridge web site.  Under the Euro
applications for cars they list the brake line set and the clutch line set.
Clutch lines are on the last page, 15-08 pounds each.

Perhaps Goodridge USA can order them, Perhaps Goodridge in England will sell
direct or one of the European suppliers carries them.
