In my pursuit of good upgrades for my 1997 XK8 Convert I ran across this offer which I can't take advantage of as my car can't be out service this long. I thought I'd pass along the offer to those who could. Let me know if you do it and they can build out the lines. From what everything I've read our US spec cars have some differences and the UK spec lines need some sort of modifications.

Hopefully these end-up as weekend-able bolt-in deals. I'm garage poor at the moment.

Why not take one line off and take it to a local hydraulic line shop and see if they can match the fittings if they are metric. The advantage is that it is local and once they know they have the fittings they can make them on location making the turnaround time shorter. Most all hydraulic shops have the braided lines in stock. Several NAPA stores make hoses if you have one near you.
