Reply to "Clutch fluid disaster"

It's seldom that a stock clutch line ruptures, as the clutch system pressure is only 150-200 psi in the line. I'v never seen the stock red plastic line break, and being plastic, brake fluid quickly shrinks it up such that one usually pulls the steel fitting in two before the line slides off the barb. I had to use a hacksaw to remove my plastic hose from its fitting. That line is close to bullet-proof!
Yes- aeroquip braided-stainless is a simple, cheap fix that also looks good. Due to engine vibration, you need some sort of flexible hose between engine-mounted slave and frame-mounted hard line. Solid hard line will work-harden and crack. A std dash-4 double-male AN fitting (with an o-ring on one end) screws directly into the junction block where the red plastic line originally connected. On the other end, a dash-4 AN-to-1/8" pipe fitting screws directly into most slaves. Vendors all stock the kit.
