Don,

Do you happen to know what the part numbers are for the Volvo repair kits
for the clutch and brake master cylinders? If so, please post them.

Thanks,

Vic,

Are you having a rubber one made or "Aeroquip"??  I've just rebuilt 
my clutch and brake master cyls and replaced my brake lines 
with "Aeroquip" from Rory.  The only weak link is the hose you speak 
of.

By the way, my clutch and brake master cyls are both Girling 3/4" 
bores.  I found Volvo repair kits that have the proper parts.  The 
clutch slave cyl is a Girling 7/8" bore and I got that kit from 
Scimitar International but they are no longer doing any mail business.
