SA brake lines
 
Looks like another challenge to find any... should I have a hydraulic shop just make these up using my old fittings?

If you just need the flexible lines:

Failing a replacement you could get a 1.25 to 1.00 adapter or the other way if needed. I have an SA and I have some used brake lines if you need them. I also have the caliper hardware if you need that.

When I redid some of my lines on my SA I reused my fittings and bought a 25ft. roll of brake line from AutoZone, as well as renting their flaring tool. It worked like a charm and I haven't had any issues since. Don't try to re-flare old lines. They'll usually crack or split in the process, and if they don't in the moment, they probably will later on while you're driving which would be sad to say the least.

This is actually what I did. I will add that the more expensive nickel-copper lines where worth the extra money to me.

Well, either you can make them yourself or send them to a shop and have them fabbed up. There's a shop in upstate NY near Buffalo that will fab new lines for you, but obviously you'll need to send them your existing brake lines. The shop is called Custom Tube and here's their website: https://classictube.com/ I've never dealt with this shop before, but do plan to have them eventually fab up new fuel lines for my FC.
