Technical Can't change gears

It's good practice for clutch control.
When teaching someone to drive I'd use the 'no throttle at all' rule to teach good clutch control.

This reminds me of having lessons on a 125 at 16, in the text book it said we had to prove we could "go slower than standstill" (roughly translated if it sounds dodgy), it still puzzles me how that could be possible... :confused: but very good for clutch control :confused:s well... bit random maybe :cool:
 
Is the pipe standard brake pipe size? If so, any garage should be able to make up a new one quite cheaply. May have to use the original end fittings, so would need cleaning well.

Once off, measure the pipe with string to follow the bends. Get kunifer rather than copper or steel pipe. Copper tends to work harden and can split eventually, steel, as you've found rusts well, kunifer, or copper nickel pipe, is the best of both, strong, but not too difficult to bend, quite corrosion resistant.

If pipe is larger diameter than brake pipe, might still be worth asking local garages.

Unless of course, you've already sourced a new one.
