Most factory clutch lines combine steel pipe and rubber hose in a long, complicated layout. HPI's Just Meet Line uses stainless-braided hose to reduce the soft feel of the standard line and give a sharper response. The hose is stainless-braided PTFE, with a clear outer protective layer. Every hose undergoes a pressure test before delivery .
