Doesn't help much. RockAuto typically gives us about eight choices of any one particular part, from economy grade to standard grade to professional grade to performance grade.

Replace...don't fix except for the cylinders. if you have the old cylinders and they're original save them for a rebuild. they're better than some Chinese junk in the market. There are lots of threads on this subject.
I would assume so. My buddy pumped the clutch while I was looking at it, and I didn't see any leaking, but that definitely looks pretty bad. At the very least, it's probably allowing some flexing to happen.
I know what caused it, too-the slave cylinder I purchased has the banjo bolt located at a 45 degree angle instead of being on the side of the cylinder-this leads to the hydraulic line being at an awkward angle and puts pressure on this joint. A younger hydraulic line might have been ok with it, but it didn't do it any good that it's 30 years old.
I'm going to have to get a new line made (unless someone here knows another trick) which is aggravating and probably not cheap. Word to the wise-be careful about the slave cylinder you buy, and if it has the 45 degree angle to the banjo bold, DON'T INSTALL IT.
^ had my original line rebuilt by a local hose and pipe shop. They re-used the OEM ends and installed a new stainless braided line between, along with a nice rubberized protection tube over it. Think it’s cost about $100 and will outlast the car. Good luck glad you found it
As luck would have it a farmer friend of mine recommended a place that he uses to fix tractor hydraulics. They should have no problem doing this for me. I’ll post back results when I can do it.
Unthread the top first, otherwise it'll gravity drain the master cylinder. Unthread the bottom and then it should lift straight out. I don't recall any holders on mine.

im almost certain it’s attached to the firewall. I’ll double check though, that would be awesome
Got the line out. I’ll be honest I’m less sure that’s the problem now that I have it off. Still, I’ll get it worked on and put back on and see how it goes.
What are you seeing that needs to be "fixed"? That outer wrap is probably there to keep the clutch fluid from getting too hot from the exhaust manifold above it. The inner hose does not appear to be leaking at the fitting.

yea that’s why I’m not sure the hose was the problem. It looked like an issue on the car, but once I got it off it actually looks like it’s ok.
