Unhappy Snapped Clutch Line

I was installing the 2g RRE SS Clutch line and I bent the clutch line a little bit too much so now it's snapped. The picture shown is showing where it snapped or cracked and it's just right before where you would attach the new 2g ss clutch line. I kind of moved the clutch line so the opening where it cracked wouldn't be too big. Is there some type of material that can fix this easily?

I say screw it and just buy the full SS line that runs all the way from the master cylinder.

Replacing a section of hard line is an easy fix.

+1 on a full SS line (never heard of one that long, link please)

Re: Snapped Clutch Line

i would def. not try to just patch or re-use. a full SS line would be nice.

Re: Snapped Clutch Line

There's no way any patch would hold, your talking about some serious hydraulic pressure. Just buy that line from somebody parting one out, or if you're a little more brave, buy a section of SS brake line like others have said, get yourself a bender and a flare tool, and go to town.
