Dad said had no clutch and last night I went under car and the clutch line is rusted out.
Who makes the line?
I want to replace the whole line.
Saw a posting from like 10 yrs ago that had flex lines on each end that helped install.
OE part # ?

I was just talking to Inline Tube and they are making one for me.
(my fingers crossed that in 7-10 days my $135 ($175 w tax and shipping), I'll have a new line and can get the car mobile again.)

You can buy a reel of brake line and the fittings for about $25. Use the old line as a pattern. Bend using a bending tool and put the fittings on then flare the ends with a double flaring tool. Quite a bit more cost effective. The Fiero Store wants $189.00 for a SS clutch line so Inline tube is in the ballpark just a bit expensive for my taste. ------------------

Double, or bubble? I know the brakes use bubble. At some point I'm going to have to do this, and I just want to get my ducks in a row

ANYONE whom has replaced their clutch line, any advice?!
I spent a couple hours replacing the clutch master cylinder and slave cylinder yesterday, then a ridiculous amount of time removing the clutch line.
Fairly straight forward EXCEPT the 8 inches w all the bends by the master cylinder. I tried my best to get it removed w/o destroying all the bends, but couldn't do it.
I removed the brake master cylinder to gain some movement and fought to no end trying to not destroy the rubber piece that protects the clutch and brake lines, but in the end found myself bending the crap out of the clutch line just to get it removed.
It feels like there is no way a new line w factory bends is going to get up through the area.
(still waiting for the new line to arrive)
ANY help or suggestions are welcome.
(It even crossed my mind to cut the new line and put a flex line to get up and around everything)

Pull the spare tire well and the rubber clamp.

Inline Tube supplies the SS lines that are resold by TFS.

I have used Inline Tubing for my 88. It took some time to fish things around and they fit very well.
