If you want to do everything yourself, buy all these from summit, you will save quite a bit. Its really not that hard to make them yourself.
1) Measure the length needed, and mark
2) Wrap the area needed to be covered with electrical tape (do about 3 turns)
3) Take a fine tooth hacksaw, and slowly cut the braided hose (don't force it let it do the work)
4) Place the hose in the fitting, then lube up the inside of the hose with wd-40 to ease placing it in
5) Mark where the hose reaches in all the way in the fitting before placing the other part on (This is to know if the hose is sliding out or not)
5) Twist the other part like a left thread (counterclockwise) till the end, give it a test and you're done

This is the ONLY way to go. I did this same thing and saved about $60-80 when compared with AN fittings and braided hose. I took mine to a hydraulic hose shop and had them cut the fittings off of my old hoses. Then they gave me some high temperature, high pressure rated hydraulic hose. It's obviously made to withstand oil if its a hydraulic hose, so no worries about rubber composition. Stick the old fittings into the new hydraulic hose and put a screw-type hose clamp on. You're done, and the whole thing will only cost you about $30.

BTW, I have a TT friend who had his oil cooler lines redone w/ "hydraulic hose" that was only rated @ 220*...well, needless to say, his lines failed and he was very pissed that they though that it would hold up....

I have mine made up at the local truck repair/parts/hydraulic/driveshaft shop. Last short line for an SA cost me 10 bucks after I removed the ferules.
Specify hosed at 300+ degree's and 300+ psi. 1/2" hose works fine on our metric fittings. If you needs some help, check out the How TO for the fmoc in my sig line.
