HEL Performance CCK045 Braided Clutch Line
HEL Performance braided clutch line for right-hand-drive Mazda MX-5 Mk1 / NA, Mk2 / NB and Mk2.5 / NB-FL manual models from 1990-2005 as listed in the compatibility table.
CCK045 is a full-length flexible clutch hydraulic line running from the clutch master cylinder to the clutch slave cylinder. It replaces the original clutch hydraulic hose arrangement with a single HEL Performance stainless-steel braided line.
HEL Performance clutch lines use a PTFE inner core reinforced with 303/304 stainless-steel braid and a protective outer covering, together with stainless-steel fittings. The reinforced construction is designed to minimise hose expansion as hydraulic pressure increases, helping provide a firmer and more consistent clutch-pedal response.
This line is particularly useful when the original clutch hydraulic hose has deteriorated with age, shows signs of damage or when carrying out a wider clutch hydraulic-system overhaul. It is also a useful upgrade where a more direct and consistent hydraulic clutch response is desired.

Fitment advice: CCK045 is designed for right-hand-drive Mazda MX-5 NA and NB manual-transmission applications from 1990-2005. The line runs from the clutch master cylinder to the clutch slave cylinder. For imported, modified or previously repaired cars, matching the steering configuration, clutch hydraulic layout and hose reference is recommended before ordering.
Other items to consider: When changing the clutch hydraulic line you may also want to consider purchasing fresh hydraulic fluid, a clutch master cylinder, clutch slave cylinder, bleed nipple and any related sealing hardware showing signs of wear or corrosion.
Useful tools / consumables: Brake or clutch pipe spanners, suitable hydraulic fluid, bleeding equipment, protective gloves, brake cleaner and normal workshop hand tools are useful when carrying out this job.
Difficulty guide: DIY Difficulty: Moderate. Installation requires opening the clutch hydraulic system, securely connecting and routing the replacement line and bleeding the clutch hydraulics afterwards. Correct clutch operation and a leak-free system should be confirmed before the vehicle is driven.
Why HEL Performance? HEL Performance braided clutch lines are designed for drivers and workshops looking for a durable hydraulic-line replacement with improved resistance to hose expansion compared with an ageing conventional flexible clutch hose. Their PTFE-core, stainless-steel braided construction and stainless-steel fittings provide a robust solution for road, fast-road and motorsport-prepared vehicles.
What’s in the box: 1 HEL Performance CCK045 stainless-steel braided clutch hydraulic line running from the clutch master cylinder to the slave cylinder, together with the appropriate fittings and any installation hardware required by the hose configuration.
Installation / bleeding notes: The clutch hydraulic system must be bled after installation. Route the line securely without twisting, kinking or allowing it to contact moving or hot components. Use the correct hydraulic fluid for the vehicle and carefully check all connections for leakage before use.
