Been waiting on a friend who was having two brake lines made for me. Been 6 weeks and no word. These are the two metal lines that run off the bottom side of the girling calipers on my 68 144. They are U shaped and go from the caliper to a bracket and mate to a brake hose there. About 15 inches in length.

Thinking of making them myself. The end going to the caliper is male. Where it meets the brake line is female. Thinking I could get a length of brake line with the proper male end and cut off the other male end. Add the proper female and and flare the brake line. What type of flare tool is used for brake line? I know it is some type of douple flare tool. What size line would I be working with and is it metric? Is this a common auto parts tool? Expensive? Wondering how available that female fitting might be?

Was going to also call a local hydraulic shop and just see if they could make them up. I bought all new brake hoses and I'm just needing these two steel brake lines.
