Leaking Brakes = Bad Brass Brake Line Unions..... 120-130

After finally making all the flares for my new brake lines, it appears that the brass unions are the culprit for a few of my leaks. There are scars on the seats from the previous flares. I am going to go ahead and remake the flares on the lines where I have leaks just to be sure, but I think I need to get new unions. The guy at my local chain autoparts store shrugged his shoulders when I asked to see their selection.

Swedish Treasures has the rear three way joint for $27, but I can't find the front 4 way union on the website. Sounds a bit steep for a piece of brass.... I wouldn't mind remounting a generic solution.

Any ideas?
