Arch,
I'm still in the process of having new rear brake lines installed on my
GMC(long boring story). The mechanic that's doing the work had the
lines made at a local NAPA(less $$ than ordering pre-made). If you
could provide the SS tubing, I'm sure that a local NAPA would bend them
up and install fittings for you.
With my recent rust-through experience, I think I'll go to SS lines as
soon as I get the White Elephant down to Georgia. Let me know how it
works out for you.
Thanks,
Patrick

I had some custom lenght SS lines made up for a frame-off truck
restoration project. You need to supply them with the correct lenght.
Standard double-flare tools can not handle SS tubing. They use a special
press at SSBC. You can then bend the pre-assembled SS lines with
traditional brake line bending tools.
Both the tubing and end fitting are stainless. Quality is very good.
As you can imagine, you get what you pay for.
Hope that helps
