Bill, you should be able to go to any performance shop and pick up some pre-fabbed lines that will do the job that you are after. All that you will need to know is the length of the lines that you need. From there, you can get a line that is pretty close to what you need. Some of the performance shops can even make some custom lines for you at a slightly higher price.

All of the fittings are pretty generic in size and style. So, finding something that will work should not be difficult. It may be advantageous to pull a brake line off and take it with you to make sure you get the right fittings on each end. But, this assumes you have a second vehicle that you can use while the Jag is down. Remember, if you are stuck between 2 lines of different lengths, go with the slightly longer line. This will garantee that the line will not get pulled tight and possibly separate under all conditions.

Try there. You are talking SS Braided brake HOSES or Lines???
Hoses being the flexible connection between the hard brake lines and
the calipers. I would see no need for braided brake lines so I assume you
mean just the hoses???
