As mentioned previously, I received a RHD hydraulic line set recently -- for a LHD car. I'm calling the company this morning to get this sorted out, but wanted to make sure of something.

The only 2 hard brake/clutch lines that are different between LHD and RHD are:

* Hard brake line from master cylinder to 4-way union
* Hard clutch line from master cylinder to clutch slave cylinder

I should be able to use the rest of the lines, correct? I want to make sure I've got the right information before I call the company.
 
Drew,

I'm thinking about setting up my car for RHD. If you don't send those pipes back, I might be interested in buying them from you.
 
Just called the vendor (Classic Tube) and they apologized for the error. They're going to send me the line that's incorrect (from the M/C to the brake union). They did send the proper clutch line, so that's okay.

So if you do order lines from them, make sure they're aware that you have a LHD car. The catalog doesn't list the RHD/LHD issue, and the sales guy noted that it's listed in their internal system in one place but not another. Just a FYI.
