when I replaced the clutch line on my 87 9000t, I noticed the flex section says something like, "not for brakes". This tells me they use inferior hose that couldn't withstand the pressure of a brake system. In other words, I think they're using cheap hose from the factory to save themselves a few cents. That probably explains why it starts bulging out, etc. and eventually fails. Before it failed, the 9000 clutch was very spongy and I even bled the system thinking there was air in it. I didn't figure out the spongy feeling in the pedal was due to the flex section bulging.. until it finally sprung a leak.
