Looking to do mine this week too after i ripped the old lines out today, can you not make the braided ends up yourself i.e buy the hose and fittings and cut to size yourself like aeroquip?? I live close to merlin motorsport at castle combe so will be going in this week to see what they can do, if you haven't had any joy by then i'll let you know mate, they do mail order to i believe.

I live about 15 minutes away, they're expensive but so handy being able to pop in there as they keep loads of stock!

if u have a branch of james lister and sons, in particular a motorsport branch, they can sort you out with EVERYTHING

i just bought all mine from there to do the whole car braided, wasnt cheap mind

you dont have to get them to make them up though, true u can get them to cut the hose and swage fittings, but u can also just buy a long length of -3 hose, and then buy the re-usable fittings which cost about the same, but u can fit them urself over and over again, no need to swage
