Is there value? Besides the oooh-ahh factor, the stock setup works pretty 
well.

That said, I have SS on both my TR6's. The lines are pretty much AN4 - 
both ends. You can buy the lines from the "usual suspects" for cheap 
money.

You want to use AN4 lines, though. I use AN3 on my race car and it works, 
but the clutch need you to push a lot fluid really fast so AN4 is the 
better choice. The pipe from the clutch MC has an adapter to AN4, so if 
you decided to switch a AN3 you'd have to replace the adapter of fit an 
AN4 to AN3 adapter which is too much plumbing in my mind.
