I've always made my own with screw on fittings.

Go to a local hydralic hose dealer if you want to pay top dollar for custom made lines.

Besides what they sell pre-made, Earl's may still have their "custom shop"; I used them years ago for my braided stainless brake lines, and they were very reasonable and quick.

Another place for inexpensive assembled ones is www.speedwaymotors.com
They are also a good place to buy fittings, too.

What rear brakes are you using? If they use a slider type caliper I'd keep the flex line short. My wilwoods have fixed calipers so I used hard line for all of it. On the front flex lines I used -6AN, IIRC the Y block should be 3/16" inverted flare.

Edit** I used -3AN, getting old sucks

#3 LINE IS RIGHT, Use as little as possible and the rest should be 3/16" OD steel line. I can have a picture for you later. There are fittings to go from steel line to #3 AN

The "brake splitter block" should stay wih steel lines.

You will need to weld a bracket at the end of each housing tube to fasten the steel line, from there it goes to braided line, there should only be 12" or less on each side. If you use all braided line the petal will be too soft.

Calibors will have #3 or 4 straight thread or even metric, I'm pretty sure.

Ummm, you have to use short section of flex brake line with disc brakes...you sure you should be working on brakes?
