Hi Jossey, don't bother with the kits just buy your components from sellers on the web I got most of mine from Ebay and some from Rally
Design.
I've done all mine in 10mm fittings to fit 5mm pipe, mainly male ends and three tees - I finished the ends of each run into a bulkhead fitting
fixed by a bracket then went to flex's.
Made my own flex's up to using stuff from Rally Design
Plenty of pics in my Photo archive.
Never done brake pipe before but did a nice job in the end had a few practices flaring first though.
Duratec Engine is fitted, MS2 Extra V3 is assembled and tested, engine running, car now built. IVA passed 26/02/2016

Your local hydraulics company will be able to make your flexes up as required.

Second that. Just buy the piping by the roll, and the connections from CBS, Ebay or wherever.
It also means you can easily redo bits when you make a mistake

Brought all mine from my local Motor Factores.
Brought all seperate, flaring tool, brake pipe by the roll, match up the ends with Cylinders, Cailpers, Flexi's and even brought T Piece and
brake light switch.
Other time i did want rigid brake pipes i took old sample to local Car Accessory Shop and they made to matched length with new fittings.
You could buy the pipe and fittings with out your lengths and tape the fittings close to the end and get a local garage to flare as required.
