[V8] Clutch hydraulic hose source

[Buchholz, Steven]

I'm pretty confident that the flexible line is identical to any other
type 44 based manual tranny.  You should not need to replace the hard
line ... there's a flare nut connection at the interface from hard to
flex line.  If you are doing this I'd recommend that you replace the
clutch slave cylinder at the same time ...

I'm a bit hesitant to make this offer given the fact that I'm still
waiting for some tools I've lent out to be returned ... but I do have a
flex line in the garage at home right now ... if you really need the car
fixed right away I would be willing to ship it to you with the
expectation that you would provide a replacement ...
