'84 302 4 speed 4x4

Header broke, got new header off LMC and installed fantastic.

My clutch hose goes down and connects directly under the header so right now my clutch pedal I just goes down then I have to pull it back up because it's melting it the hose and making me lose my fluid.

Is there a wrap I can protect a rubber or plastic hose from so much heat?

Is there such a thing as metal hoses I can run just from underneath the header then connect it to a regular hose?

Should I try to take the little nipple off the reciever and have a short metal tube sticking out from under the header?

My wife might finally win "time for a new truck" argument because I'm not about to replace that hose everyday.

Thanks

 

you should be able to fine a steel braided line for that.

 

You can also buy "header wrap" and use it in the area of that hose so that some of the heat is cut down.

 

Good call...
