[Mgs] Spridgeteer HELP needed - clutch hydraulics

     A  friend  of  mine  is  having  a hell of a time with his spridget
     clutch   hydraulics.   He  has  a  bug-eye  sprite,  with  the  old
     clutch/brake  master  (same as an MGA or early midget) - but he put
     in  a  1275  engine  and trans.  Everything seems to fit except the
     hydraulic  lines.  Looking at my MGA, I think he should adopt their
     system - banjo and banjo bolt at the master cyl, and a flex hose at
     the  slave  -  but he seems to want to go all flare end brake lines
     that should (and have not yet) seat and seal - no flexline, but a 3
     times around spiral for the rocking motion of the car.

     Can  anyone relay experience that says the best way to go with this
     type of conversion/set-up??
