Anyone know the size of this tube or where to find a replacement? Some PO cut the one in my chassis in several places and connected them back together with rubber tubing and hose clamps.

They are about 1/2 diameter or the next smaller metric conversion. just over 5 ft in length. Check this thread, its a auto stick conversion but includes adding a clutch tube.

I found brake line tubing that is perfect but its only 60", the tunnel needs about 66 inches.

Maybe contact a brake shop, I'm sure they should have tubing in longer lengths for larger cars.
