Question Braided stainless lines

This is really odd but it has happened to two friends of mine. They both had braided stainless clutch lines in their cars and both cars set up an electric arc and blew out the line. Both cars had very worn grounding straps and the juice was just looking for the path of least resistance. It took a while to figure out what happened on the first one. The second one was obvious. If you cannot find a smoking gun elsewhere, give a look at the line if it is braided stainless.
