Neil,

That line will replace everything from the slave cylinder to the junction of the long metal tube coming all the way from the clutch master.  If you can't break the current line at the long metal line, you'll have issues, but otherwise this is a nice replacement.  I put one in last year, with a whole set of s/s lines from them.

 Subject: 2 Piece Clutch Hose: Replace with 1 Piece?
 
 Hi all.
 
 This is for a WBX (1985) transaxle in a 1981 Vanagon. The
 long steel
 hydraulic line from clutch master cylinder to flex hose at
 transaxle,
 is 1981 OEM.
 
 Does anyone know if this hose:
 http://www.van-cafe.com/home/van/page_1937_218/metal-clutch-slave-cylinder-hose.html
 
 can be used (is long enough) in place of the existing rubber
 hose and
 metal pipe to clutch slave cylinder?
 
 Why: I want to replace the slave cylinder (it mostly works
 but I think
 it's failing), but the steel hydraulic line is frozen to it
 and it
 likely won't come out w/o damaging (twisting) the steel
 pipe. My spare
 parts line is toast. I'd get a shop to use it as a template
 but the
 rubber flex hose looks old.
 
 Thanks,
 
 Neil.
