FEVER WE RUN CLEAR HOSES..THEY ARE FUEL LINE.

AS FAR AS THE REAR, JUST USE A TIGHT BOLT AND SAFETY WIRE AROUND THE HOSE

Team Jordan runs clear hose. Just Vinyl hose from the local Ace, I believe.

There is clear hose that is for brake resevoirs. Yoyodyne carries some. It is about $8 per foot.

Yoyodyne, wasn't that the company the Black 'lectroids had in Buckaroo Bonzai?  ;D
I love that movie.

vinyl will allow vapor transfer over time, just so you know.  That is why rubber hoses are used on OEM master cylinders.

Yep. Should've added that it does need to be replaced every so often. If you NEED clear, go with the yoyodyne stuff. Otherwise, it's probably not worth the hassle.......Unless, um, you crash a lot.
