Slave cylinder hose...

[Grant Lenahan]

When you say brake "hose" - what is this from and to?
Is it a hose (flexible, rubber/braided) or a line (metal, flare 
fittings)

If its a line, make your own from modualr parts at the parts store - 
beware different types of flares and nuts.

If its a hose, what (hopefully standard) fitting is at either end?
