[s-cars] Clutch master,slave cylinder hose

[JenRob]

3 weeks ago- the same failure. Thought at first was the slave cyl.  The o.e. 
line is partially hard line/ partial heavy rubber flex section. Why the 
factory didn't use braided steel i dont know. should have known to rebuild 
like p/steer line- could have saved some cash, but went stealer route.  -Rob

George,

The line should be one piece with steel hard lines on either end and 
flexible line in the middle.

It sounded to me like you described removing the flexible line and 
discovering rubber hose not
meant for hydraulic fluids. If this is the case than I think someone 
patched/cobbled/pretended
to repair your hose.

Your options are to order a replacement OR follow Vittorio's lead and have a 
reputable shop
use the right line and repair yours.

HTH
Chris
