Howdy List,

My 1985 Crew cab is currently off the road due to a failed clutch slave
cylinder. Due to the Canadian-salt enhanced corrosion, I was unable to
salvage the hydraulic metal line between the clutch slave cylinder and the
rubber line, and the rubber line itself. I used a tubing cutter to separate
it all from the line that runs to the front of the van and hooks into the
clutch master cylinder.

So I go to the dealer an get quoted the outrageous price of $60.00 each for
the rubber and metal line. I'd like to bend them up myself, but all the
local parts houses have only the 3/16" lines with 10mmx1.0 threaded fittings
used on the brake systems. The clutch is a 1/4" line with 12mmx1.0 threads,
and I can't find them.

Any idea on where to get these lines?

Thanks,
TomC
