Guess I'm on the wrong Facebook page... which one is that?

Interesting. Is that something that would have been installed at factory?

Yes, that was a factory part.

we have the hose in stock

Was the hose used just certain years?

All yrs that had a hydraulic clutch, 61-68.

That's interesting as my 1968 w200 that I've had since 1982 didn't have that hose. However about 10 years ago I swapped out that line from an older dodge truck that did have that hose so mine currently has it I just assumed the early model had it and the later ones didn't.

What did it have instead?
Wildergarten has 2 68's and can report what they have. One was mine and I don't remember it having something different.
If your hose was damaged in the 14 yrs before u got it, it could have been replaced with anything.

Main line directly bolted right into the slave cylinder. It also had a loop in it on passenger side before it went straight down to the slave whereas the line I have in there now has no loop but the hose.

loop not needed if you have the hose.

No hose, just the loop to absorb the vibration. I don't think it did much to relieve stress and allow play compared to the flexure in the straight runs but was certainly adequate. The metal hardens when it's bent like that. They sometimes did that with the lines off the master cylinder too, which in a short run like that may have helped.
