Buy yourself a flaring tool, a coil of bundy tube & make them yourself 
Not hard, especially if you use the old lines as your templates & reclaim the fittings (if undamaged). Flaring tool from $45.00 Bundy tube: about $35.00 ? Time spent making them: Priceless All goods quoted are subject to change without prior notice and are subject to availablity at time of order. |

double flaring tool tho, not just a normal flaring tool. Remove the ends off your old lines and remake the new ones. Best to use a proper bender also so that you do not kink your lines |

Yeah, tube bender is twenty something bucks well spent. Price above is for a double flaring tool 
Here are some links to pics of my fuel lines: (haven't done the brake lines yet, but same thing) http://members.dodo.com.au/clarke_npmm/mike/pics/moke/fuel_lines.jpg http://members.dodo.com.au/clarke_npmm/mike/pics/moke/fuel_lines_flaring.jpg Just remember to put the fittings on before flaring the ends

Blue dot hoses? Not me... I know noth-ing...
I thought they needed an AS mark or something. Hoses are OK with any fluid. But don't mix dot 5 with dot 3-4..
