Thanks for the info Mark.

I found a rear one from NorthWesty a couple of months ago.  They were the
only ones that had one.  They had apparently made a special purchase through
their German connections.  I was lucky to stumble across them.

The white plastic lines became standard around 86, used on 2wd and Syncro.
You can buy them new for the front but the rear versions are NLA. Of course
to switch from rigid metal to the plastic also takes the special Banjo bolts
at the master and slave ends.
