What pipe do most use between resevoir and master cylinders please?

Cheers

It can be a challenge - I tried pipe what was supposed to be for brake fluid but it perished quickly. I ended up using a decent quality fabric braided fuel hose which has lasted well.

I got some Fiat res' pipe for an early Panda or Uno as I remember.

IIRC I got mine from Think Automotive? It has been covered several times on the forum
