Default Series 2 copper brake lines - does anywhere do a kit ?

I know I can make my own up but a while back I remember somewhere selling a full kit of ready made brake lines for the whole car (not braided hoses but copper lines)

Does anyone know if anyone sells a brake line kit ready made and shaped ready to fit straight to the car or am I stuck with having to make up my own ?

Cheers

i just went james listers n bought about 10m of -3 braided line, a couple of t-pieces, a couple of 90degree fittings for the master cylinder, then any other fittings to suit ur caliper/drum set up n flexi joins. i spent a bit more on extra fittings for my bias valve set up

all the fittings are the reuseable type, so can all be fitted up at home easily

think i paid £150ish total, but u cud instantly knock 20quid off that as i had to buy 2 extra 90degree fittings to fit my bias valve set up

just assume the -3 hose is going to be roughly 6-10quid per meter, and then fittings 10-15 quid each for the reuseable type

will try and find my receipt to get exact amounts, but hopefully thats enough info to go off anyways
