It does have number 9, or did until it shattered some years ago. Now I’ve got the three upper hoses (to/from the firewall and valve/reservoir) cleverly zip tied to keep them secure. I ordered a new number 9 bracket but it isn’t available any longer. I need to get my eBay on for some misc brackets, and other out of production stuff.
The hose in question that blew on my car is number 12 and I couldn’t see how it could be routed securely, or where a hose clamp could go without drilling into the body or frame. Which I may have to do. It passes by the steering rack upright portion where the shaft connects, but on which side I don’t know. I routed it outboard, but clearly that didn’t work. Inboard however seems to take the rubber hose section very close to the exhaust manifold at the back of the motor.
