Most of the kit makers; MK, MNR etc offer a pre-made kit for their cars which will all be pretty similar.

Alternatively a flaring kit only costs less the £20 + £10-15 for a roll brake pipe.

Russbost on hear does a good value line in flexi hoses so you could do it yourself for quite a bit less dosh.

I was a bit worried about the brake lines - never done anything remotely like it before but decided to have a go - bought a flareing tool and bender off ebay and had a go.

I think you will be supprised how easy it actually is and how much money you will save.

Plus you learn a new skill too.

As above I'd get the tool and do it yourself. I got the pre made brake pipes with my MK but ended up damaging two of them and in the end re-made them all anyway so they fit where I wanted them rather than just went where they were long enough to reach
