I doubt it's much at all to be honest. I mean think how much effort it takes to compress the fingers on the clutch cover. If you put one on the floor and stand on it it compresses easily.
That's what? 170lb on about 2 square inches. So if roughly 85psi is all it takes to compress the clutch, I doubt the hydraulics have much more than that in them. |

The pedal needs about 25lb to move.
Ok, i will try the 500psi hose and if it busts, i will try something a bit higher in workin pressure |

That's a more scientific way of working it out.
If you know the pressure to depress the pedal and can find out the piston sizes for the master and slave cylinders you can work out the multiplication factor. But even if the slave is 4 times bigger than the master, that's only 100pounds. |

Lost in translation, they supplied a hose with a workin pressure of 300bar and a burst pressure of 500bar.
I am in the clear Installin and bleedin tomorrow |
