I was recently looking at replacing the clutch master supply hose in my 89 900T (and my 9k) as these are well known for catastropic failure. Not wanting to replace with the weaker OE hose I contacted Jerry at Paragon to get his thoughts. Jerry expressed interest in creating a custom piece for our cars. Below is his email, let me know if there is interest in helping him out - I'd love to have the Saab community have this as an option.

Paragon Performance would like to work with Saab enthusiasts to design a clutch line for the models having problems with the original line. From what we understand, the problem exists for the Saab 900 (79-93) and the Saab 9000 – later 1990’s models.

Because of the fittings involved, we have yet been unable to simply fabricate a SS braided Teflon hose assembly using available (standard) fittings and have only built the clutch line by braising the owner’s original fittings onto the new assembly.

If there are enough Saab folks interested, we will consider having the necessary part machined, but because this is very costly for us to do (we would have to run a minimum of 500 pieces to even be competitive), we would need to know if there really is a demand. We also have new fitting suppliers that may possibly have the part we need.

Here is what we need to proceed:
If anyone has an old clutch line or a failed line (obviously, not a line currently in use), we would appreciate you sending it off to us.

For each clutch line, we would need to know the model and years the line covers.

You can contact us via email: sales@paragonperformance.com or toll free at
1-800-270-333. Ask for Jerry.

Hopefully, we can get this high performance line fabricated for you and offer it at a highly competitive price (lower than an orignal dealer replacement clutch line).
