Unanswered: Need brake lines for a 75 swap

I'm doing a 75 front brake swap on my 71 Manta and 73 GT. I need brake hoses to go to the caliper. I done some searching online and can't seem to find any place that can make them and I been calling parts stores and they can't seem to make them either. I don't want to buy any equiptment to make them myself which it seems everyone wants you to do. Where can get them made or is there someone who can make them for me who does have the capabilities. All I'm looking for is a straight tube with the proper flare on both sides. I have the tool to bend them.

14 in long
10mm X 1.00 pitch female connectors
bubble flare on one side and double/inverted flare on the other

The Manta can wait but I need them for the GT immediately.

OGTS...I seem to recall they have a SS braided hose that deletes the hard line to the caliper.

I can make 'em for you. I have the tool. Let's do this when I come up to get Gene's rear (axle, I mean ).
