MG MGA - M/C connections

I see in the Moss catalogue that the clutch line connects at the MC via a banjo and adapter, but the brake connection is direct. What is the reason for the difference?
Art Pearse

The clutch line is 1/4" diameter compared to the 3/16" of the brake line. I found bending the clutch line up from the heater shelf, even with Cu-Ni, quite hard work. To have to bend it another 90 deg. and in steel would have been quite a challenge! Plus moving the nut along curved tubing is also difficult if not impossible.
They should have done the brake line in a similar way to raise the height of the nut to make it easier to undo................................Mike
