Stainless steel brake lines for 140s ? 140-160

I'm planning on the Mother Of All Brake Jobs on my '70 145.
The left rear calliper is locking when I'm braking at highway speeds.
I have another set of rear girlings and will rebuild those and install them in the back. Since I'm breaking into the system I'm installing rebuilt callipers in the front.
Seems silly to do all this and leave the same 33 year old hoses on.
I was looking at the stainless steel brake lines that IPD has, for every Volvo other than the 140. Grrrr.

Has anyone had any luck installing the kit for the 160 series on the 140?
I cross-checked the part numbers for the rubber hoses on alloemvolvoparts.com.
The 140 has 3 different part numbers:
Rear N7000-63778
Front outer N7000-30495
Front inner N7000-29351

The 160 only lists 1 part number for all the hoses; N7000-63778 the same as the 140 rear.
(I'm assuming theres 6 of them like on the 140)

Has anyone had any luck installing the stainless steel brake line kit for the 160 series on the 140?
Is there any other source for stainless steel brake lines for the 140?
