    Thanks for the plug Sam, but I think you mean Jim Turner.

      All you have to do is -
      1. Know the length you want.
      2. Know the caliper end fitting style.
      3. Know the hard-line fitting style (all -3, or 3/16" inverted flare, in these cases).

      Then go to a Summit or Jegs or Speedway catalog, and find your line. It WILL be there.

      Very easy to find and not too expensive, considering that as long as they are not kinked, they'll last almost for ever...!

          Appoligies..and a reread noted..!

          Still shouldn't be a problem.
          Same homework as far as line length and fittings. Only this time you'll need to call one of the many builders/vendors of AN lines.
          Here's just three of the many to call.

              Find somebody with a BrakeQuip machine, (and has) the power steering dies. I have the machine, but not the dies. There may or may not be enough of a demand to spend the $$ for the power steering dies. Plus, then to have a lot of $$ invested in the fittings. I have slowly added more and more fittings to my stock, and my average invoice from BrakeQuip is right at about $400! (and the box is NOT very big)
              I can now do what is called the "Low Profile" fittings on the braided stainless lines. All of the braided lines that I use are DOT approved.

              I can also make up braided stainless oil filter lines, I use the black braided stainless. All I would need is a length on each line.
