not everyone has the means to get metric fittings and to crimp the fittings.
just wanted to see if people needed/wanted a cheaper alternative than mazdatrix or wherever people get them.

You don't have to crimp the fittings. I used braided (as opposed to the brided line that aspirao recommends ) line and Aeroquip fittings to make mine.

I had a local shop cut the metric ends off of mine and reuse them onto some high grade hose. I think it was $45 or so, maybe less..
On the rear one with the banjo bolt, I think you can replace it and use an aeroquip 90 degree end and a M18x1.5 to 5/8 adapter.. I plan on doing that eventually.
