Gee, thanks ecklers... :(
I love how they don't bother to tell you when things are backordered. :( I was supposed to go racing on the 30th but the clutch hose is backordered till 5/3 which stated on the website nor are you told when ordering.
At least they gave me the $3.95 "Rush Delivery" charge back only after I emailed them asking if it had been ordered and then wehen I found out it was backordered ASKED for it to be refunded.
p.s.
I had no choice, they're the ONLY source for this item unless i try to find a shop nearbye to make one.

On a better note usually the part get there a little before the backorder date. I think they set up those date a little bit long because they have already screwed up.

Corvette Central lists a 'Clutch Cylinder Hose and Pipe' for $109. Is this what you need? Hope to race you the 30th :auto:
Their phone center is closed, I will call 1st thing in the morning to check on stock.

Re: (scorp508)
Brian, if I can help in any way please let me know. I have ins at just about every GM dealer in the surrounding Albany area. I thought I wasn't going to have the car ready on time for the 30th and I wasn't a happy camper.
I will get on the horn first thing in the morning if your situation hasn't changed. You could definitely get it next day if I find one. If I find one on the 29th I'll meet you somewhere on the pike.

Ive emailed them 2x in the last 2 weeks about an order I placed, and you cant get those idiots to reply.
I had to call them and even then they rushed me off the phone. :mad

My parts book was printed in 1989. I only mentioned the possibility of a superseding number due to the age of my book. most of the numbers are still current. Just checking to see if you had explored the GM pipeline.

Re: Gee, thanks ecklers... :( (scorp508)
The newer ones are a braided line. I upgraded my 90 to one when I went to the Rippie modified slave cylinder. Knowing what I know now Scorp, I think that you could very well buy a standard braided brake line close to the length you need, and put the proper fittings/adapters on it to fit yours.
