A nicer way of saying "f_cking around"
So are the years interchangeable? I’m “asking for a friend” that let his touch the header. It’s on a 73

I think I just seen an ad in the classified section from @cruisermatt selling new clutch cylinder hoses.

Yes, we stock OEM hoses for all Land Cruisers clutch/brake applications including extended ones for lift kits up to 80 series.
All 40 series and 60 series up to 86 use the copper washer on the outside face of the slave cylinder to seal.
@rstoddard, you jammed a hose designed to seal with an inverted flare to into a slave cylinder that's not, it's sealing because you tightened it enough, it may work fine but is not proper. clutch hydraulic pressures are much lower then brakes so it may not be a big deal. Obviously that is a completely improper installation though.
If you HAVE to have a stainless braid hose
then what I would recommend would be either a banjo bolt and adapter (with proper inverted flare) or slice of the end of the hose's threaded fitting so it can thread in deeper and engage a copper washer if you can't find a hose with the proper end.

Thanks everyone for the quick replies. I bought one from @cityracer. I was hoping I could get one locally, so I could enjoy the nice weather we’re having around here. I’ll be patient…
