Hi Jay/Steve, appreciate your ideas, went with a 'hybrid' version seen below.
Dana does sell a braided version of this part which IS llustrated in his website (just
need to dig a bit, I'd never found it before). Not wanting the braided look,
however, I opted for a custom hose - SAE double flare type female at the one end, and
the OEM type 12x1.25 metric male at the other. Overall length is 14" (good fit on
my car). Fwiw it appears the original hose was about 16".
On assembly I found that the hose rubs the bell housing structure immediately above the
slave cylinder (!). This may not a real problem, and might be unique to my current repro slave
unit - mount holes slightly askew, etc. Whatever the case, it can ONLY shorten hose life,
so I'll tweak the slave mount holes enough to provide clearance. If it's a common
problem that does impact hose life, I'd have to admit the OEM hose arrangment on the Goose
could have been done somewhat 'more better' than it was!
