Brake Line / Hard Line replacement inquiry

I want to replace the lines on the front from the caliper to the BMC.

Are there any aftermarket braided lines that will go from the caliper to the BMC or are they all just the short piston to hardline replacements?

fyi: 91 gxl 5 lug, previous lines cut at calipers and no hardlines for the front brakes in the bay.....

You can buy premade hardline in various lengths at auto parts stores.
It's standard 3/16" line with inverted flares and 10 x 1.0 metric fittings...and it's cheap.
You may need to splice two pieces for the passenger side.
