[V8] FY: I 200 clutch hose does work

I don't know if you guys recall me asking about a
clutch slave hose a few weeks ago for my v8 5spd. 
Well, the original replacement never came in, the
dealer can't seem to track one down.  Instead, I
ordered a new clutch hose for a 200.  Just to let you
guys know, it works fine on the V8 5spd.  No mods
required.  The differences between the two hoses is
that the v8 hose is a combination rubber/steel line
and the 200 line all rubber.  The steel end loops
around, seems to be some sort of cooling loop, it
doesn't add to the length of the line.  The 200 hose
is exactly the same length and fittings are the same
size.  I did have to fabricate a new hard line from
the master cylinder, the old one twisted off when I
tried to remove the line.  Nothing a tube bender and
flaring tool couldn't fix. So nice to have the beast
running again!
