Not being available and not found at your FLAPS are two entirely different
things, Paul.  TRF still sells the TR6 clutch line, so obviously it's
available from somewhere.  But since so few cars still use plastic clutch
line these days (and it might not be suitable for the higher pressures found
in brakes), I wouldn't expect to find it at your FLAPS.

One downside to the plastic is that it flexes more under pressure than steel
does, which leads to a certain amount of lost motion at the pedal.  I
believe the switch to plastic line is one of the reasons that so many later
TRs have trouble with insufficient clutch travel, while it's relatively
uncommon on the earlier ones with steel lines.

All that said, here's this :
